245/75 to 265/75......Difference in Fuel Mileage?

265/70-16 is basically the same height as 245/75-16 just a little wider. The 265/75-16 is a bigger tire width and height.

 

i went from 245/75/16 to 285/70/17, you can only imagine how off my speedo and odo are

 

To each their own and I would actually like to see said 235/85 on a tacoma.

 

Is toyota false advertising? hmmm... interesting.

 

I get about 14 city and 18-19 highway (68-72 mph) with 265/75r16 driving normally if that means anything to you.

And that was before lift and bumper. Although the numbers have stayed about the same since.

 

Did you pull the trigger? I had 265s on mine. Loved it.

For those that want mileage info, I came across this thing:

Plugs into your OBD reader port.

 

To each his own I guess. The issue with this is the 235/85/16 is going to be 10 ply LT tire only and the weight is going to be round 10lbs per tire more than the stock 245 p metric tire. It's also going to have a much stiffer side wall which will effect the ride. Not to mention this tire is going to need to run minimum 55 to 60 psi which will set the TPMS off.

 

Yeah right after starting this thread I got the P rated Hankook ATM'S . Really like the tires, they are quiet, and have good bite on wet pavement too. Look a lot better too.

 

Same tire I went with when I dumped my Dunflops, and I have been real happy with the ATm's as well.

 

I'm running the 235/85 on my 07 dcsb with billies on 1.75. Tires aired to 35 front & rear. The ride is good and drives good. Still setting on stock steelies.

 

Got Pics?

how do you re calibrate your odometer yourself?

 

There are sights that allow you to do it tire calc tool at top of forum page. 265-75-16 is 3 percent larger then 265-70-16. So multiply mileage by 1.03. Or do what I did and use GPS for mileage and measure with odometer and determine percent error from that
