    Yes, I can definitely feel a difference but it’s minor. I also drive a manual so it might not be as noticeable as a 4 cyl auto might be. I wouldn’t dare go from 245 to 265/75 though. These trucks are slow enough. I had a 2017 trd off-road 6cyl manual before this and even that felt like a dog. The rev hang in the manual 6 cyl drove me nuts. I love driving my 4 cyl so much more. Granted, I never tow anything.

    The 75 are an inch taller giving you a 1/2 ince more clearance, but the 70 will handle better and have better gas mileage. The 75's will look a lot better

    Thanks for the info! Mine is auto but I don’t tow anything either. I think I’ll go with some 265/70s as I like the look of a little wider tire.

    I'm looking to replace my stock tires in the next few weeks. I've decided on the Wildpeaks and am trying to decide 70 or 75. It's a stock 2017 OR with the 1.25" wheel spacers. I don't want to deal with rubbing though. I guess I'll have to put the truck in a compromising position and measure wheel clearance.

    In my area the 75 is a LT tire so is $50 more expensive. From other threads I understand the LTs tend to ride stiffer vs the passenger type tire. I drive 95/05 on/off road so I don't really need the bigger tire, but they do look good.
