Larger Tires on 4 Cyl - Performance Question

New owner of a 2013 four cylinder - first Toyota after years of Jeep Wranglers.

I want to increase size/tread - has stock 245/75/16s on it. I see the threads on rubbing/tire size but I want to know about performance. If I put a 265/75/16 on it, what can I expect for performance?

Don't really care about speedo inaccuracy or mileage. 4 cyl is small enough...how sluggish will it be with a larger tire with more aggressive tread?

 

You will notice a little difference in power not much.And your speedo may actually be closer than it is now.Check it now with a gps most ive seen are 1-2miles fast factory.But if your worried about power and handling just do it.Youll have no problem there.

if you want more powwwa with bigger tires you'll want gears, no bolt on will help

 

I am going to regear mine to 488s next week.But thats just because Im running 285s.If I was still running 265s I would not regear.I really didnt have a power issue with 265s

 

265 is the stock size anyways you shouldn't have an issue.
