Tire/ ABS question...

I'm due for tires soon.

I have a 2020 SR5 with 245 75 16 tires.

I'd like to upgrade to 265 70 16 size.

Local tire dealer says this will throw off ABS.

Bullshit or True?

Thanks

 

Both stock sizes, you're good.

 

What tire dealer would say something like that? are 245s more expensive or something, and they want to make an extra buck?

245/75r16 = 30.5 inch diameter
265/70r16 = 30.6 inch diameter

As @clip said, they are both OEM sized tires for the Tacoma, and the tire height difference is negligible. The width might make a little diff to your mileage, but not much.

 

Thanks. I figured it was BS.

 

I am going to 265/75/16 when the time comes. there should be no difference if I am correct.

 

I have 235/85/16 and have had no issues. That going from 30.5 to 31.7.
