I currently have a 3.4 v6 2002 tacoma with 265/70/r16 tires on it and am thinking about switching to 265/75/r16's. Can anyone give me any ideas as to what power or mpg i will lose?

Stay with a light tire, about 40lbs like stock. Some guys put 50lb tires on their trucks then wonder why they lost mpg's.
