Hey all,

2021 SR5 with the XP Predator. Comes with TRD Pro and Goodyear 265/75r16 Duratrac. Work great, About to swap them for 285 shoes. Just got the truck. Still doing a lot of changes

 

Grabber ATX- only driven about 100 miles but damn these are great.

 

Honestly these Patagonia Milestars are better than the ko2s. Sorry not sorry

 

Here ya go ..

I am currently in the market for Continental Terraincontact A/T tires (primarily for their outstanding dry cornering & braking grip on tarmac), and am on the fence with regards to going either P265/70r16, or shifting up to P265/75r16 (currently on the factory Goodyear A/T Adventure + Kevlar P265/70r16).

I generally prefer a form-follows-function approach to my vehicles, and the only reason I would truly be choosing the 75 aspect ratio (a/r), aside from its increased performance potential off-road (although the truck spends 95%+ of its time on the tarmac), is for improved aesthetic regarding proportionality (31.3" tire on a 16" rim) which lends itself to that 'meaty look' many of us seem to enjoy. On tarmac, in theory, a 70 a/r tire will out perform a 75 a/r tire (identical tire model, section width & load rating) due primarily to its reduced rotating mass, stiffer sidewall (P-to-P, or LT-to-LT), and increased tread width (most tires of an identical model with identical section widths will have about a +1.2-4.7% increase in tread width with a -5% a/r). Added benefits to the 70 a/r is that speedometer reading remains exact, and I do not have to worry about the spare tire disparity.

So essentially, I have come to the 265/75r16 council to understand from those who have gone from P265/70r16 -to P265/75r16, whether or not you experienced any noticeable shift in grip under cornering or braking, as well as with general ride performance. Most likely the majority of you have changed tire brand (and possibly load rating) when making the shift, however, I am curious to understand the general consensus. Clearly, if anyone has made the shift to an identical brand, model and load rating (with just the a/r increasing), your input would be invaluable.

Thank you for reading, and I appreciate your time in giving any insight!

Cheers.

PS. Anyone who has experienced the Continental Terraincontact A/T, your input on general experience is greatly welcome.

 

I swapped my stock 265/70 Kevlars for 265/75 SL falken wildpeaks.

Sometimes I drive the truck like a jackass and corner/brake like it’s a BRZ. Lol.
I used to do rallycross, autoX, and a good bit of drifting, so I know how to push vehicles right up to the limit without completely losing traction. I’m also picky about tarmac grip, which is why I didn’t get another set of K02’s

It handles surprisingly well, but the new tires are definitely have a “softer” feeling when cornering. The grip is there, just a little bit more roll in the corners. Wet grip dramatically increased, dry grip seems slightly better.

hope this helps!

 

nitto ridge grapplers 265/75/16 with GFX tr16 about 15k on tires. i will be choosing something else when theyre ready to be replaced.

 

Recently got these 265/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrains. Coming from stock Kevlars and have about 2,000 miles on em so far. Love em so far! 90% highway miles and 10% weekend trail trips. Rides just like stock tires, no road noise, great on wet roads, maybe loss of 1 mpg but other than that no complaints!

Do you not like the ridge grapplers or are you just wanting something different? I'm close to needing tires and considering RGs so any feedback from your 15k miles of use is appreciated.
