STEEL WHEEL CONSPIRACY. ALL SHOULD READ AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!

Ha! Yep...or geometry.

 

I'm still not over the title, Steel Wheel Conspiracy. So far it looks not to be the wheels now on to the conspiracy part.

 

OK. I give you that. the wheels are not it, but Toyota only puts the dinky tires on the steel wheels so if you get one, you get both. I see the .5%, by doing the math, but it was consistently about 2mph off at 65.

 

Yup! Makes sense to me.

``Sinking biffles bid what scrumps over tandem berry bridge.``

I`d be phoning Toyota Corporate and telling them exactly that, if I were you.

 

Buy PM thread 2.0 moved here ?

 

Really? You see .5%? One half of one percent? My guess is, yer not a math major. The difference in circumference is 3.71" OR 3.9% which IS a significant amount. See the chart below for the geometry challenged.

 

I love my steelies. Worrying about rockrash is a thing of the past.

 

Damn, I've been wrong all these years? I though "mm" meant millimeters, not inches and " meant inches. damn schools.

 

DUH!

 

I believe you are correct. Sort of like the question I have been asking people for years. At what point does the far east become the near west??

 

Wut?

 

You really didn't put a bigger tire on your truck in means of height because you only gained about .05" in height, all you gained was the with from a 245 to a 265.......... This post makes me confused LOL You should have went with a real tire and went with a 265 75 16......

 

He was talking about 245/75r16 vs 265/70r16, so yes a .5% difference in diameter. Reading Hard

 

Thank you @ne_dan. Reading comprehension is a lost art these days.

 

Awww....so cute when they think there is a gotcha moment. No reading comprehension isn't hard.... missed the 70 vs the 75. My bad and apologies.

However I wasn't the one that floated the original conspiracy premise. Nor did I confuse wheel diameter with tire OD and circumference.

 

You mean like the one you had, when you called the guy dumb.

 

Hmm.. Missed the part where I called the guy dumb. Difference between calling someone dumb and saying they ain't a math major. Must be that comprehension thing again....

I misread, jumped the gun, and I was wrong. Got it? Still, if you wanna dance....

 

This whole thread got stupider and I didn't think that was possible

 

What?
