    My TRD Pro came with 265/70-16s. I was wondering if most guys step up in size to 265/75-16 when they put new tires on it. When the bigger tire is put on, how much does it affect the speedo and the perceived power of the truck?

    Thanks

    If you're going from 265/70 to 265/75, the difference is going to be so minor it's nothing to worry about

    Thanks for the replies. Do most guys go for 265/75/16 when replacing the tires?

    After suspension change out.

    OME 888 coils on/nitrocharger shocks and Dakar Medium Leafs w/90021 rear

    275/65/75 10ply KO2.
    No speed-o error. ~Quiet as the stock wranglers. Tracks straight and smooth down the highway. Ride is firmer, but not rougher.
    "Damp" comes to mind. IMG_1595.jpg
    Very nominal hit in MPG.
    Very happy with my decision.

    I'm driving on rig roads for work very rough. commute to projects between my home and western Wyoming on highway a couple times a month. This set up is perfect.
