Can you run different size tires front 265/70/17 back 265/75/16 size tires on 2015 tacoma 4x4?

running different size tires

 

so whats your question?

 

...why?

 

if you are running different sizes.... DO NOT put it in 4x4 on anything that has any sort of traction.

I wouldnt run different sizes for longer than it takes you to get to a tire shop to get 4 of the same tire with same wear on the truck.

 

Yes, you can do anything you want to. But "Don't", it can cause big problems..

 

So, they have the same OD and and width, but I am still not sure why you would. I am certain it will mess something up somehow if done for more than a few miles.

 

Yes. No. Maybe.

 

Do it at your own risk, but as everyone is here to tell you... what's the point? These trucks don't put down nearly enough power for you to need a staggered set up, but it seems like you're asking the question AFTER you've already done it based on your profile...

 

According to the tire size calculator, they don't have the same circumference. That's where the problems could come from.

 

According to the tire size calculator, there's less than 1/16" difference in diameter. That's not even enough to matter. However, different manufacturers make tires with different dimensions so, there could very well be a much greater difference. I'm sure you don't have the same looking wheels front to back, so why?

 

Nope. You punched in 17 for both sizes.

 

Is this a serious question or you trolling?

 

Less than an in. difference. But with 4x4 engaged, both tires should move the same distance pr. rev. For each rev. one tire must slip, slide, or scoot, that extra distance. If I'm figuring right, At roughly 620 revs. pr. mi., a 1/2" difference in circumference, the tire has slid or scooted 310 in. or appx. 26', gosh that seems like a lot !!! ???

 

Nope, you're figuring it wrong. 1/8" difference in circumference. I'll bet that the tire squish difference between front and rear tires, due to weight difference results in more difference than that, even with same size tires.

 

Why do this? Do you want different sized wheels with the same (ish) diameter tires? Are these somehow all you have?

You could do it, and you might not have any problems. It's your truck. I say fuck it, let your freak flag fly.

 

Thanks, I stand corrected. That being said, using your 1/8", the tire would only need to be scooted appx. 6' 6" pr mi. more than it would have been scooted if front & rear were the same circumference. shoot, I hope I got it right this time.

 

Pretty sure this is a troll thread. Only one message from the OP and its an off the wall question
