Tire Size on my 2.7 4X4 - Advice Needed

Ok you guys running the p265/70/r16 terra's how much is the size difference going from the 75-70? it fits right on the stock rim right? According to the size post that 70-75 is the sidewall height?

 

Yes the 70/75 is the sidewall height. The 75s will be one inch large in overall diameter.

 

So If I am understanding correctly the 265 is larger in width but because its a 70 its less likely to rub the mud flaps or lock on full turn?

 

Both 265s are the same width. The 75 is slighty taller. Neither will rub.

 

sorry I ment the 265 was wider than the 245. I wish nitto had a p265 in a 75 but i guess that much of a difference doesn't matter.

 

Yes, the 265/70R16 is 20mm wider than the 245/75R16 but only 3.5mm larger in diameter. (265mm x 0.7 vs. 245mm x 0.75)

 

for you guys running stock suspension anyone see a difference or have any issues running a p265/75/16 vs p265/70/16? According to the other forums the 75 will have a better change to rub but it seems like such a small difference.

 

Stock suspension here with 265/75/16 Cooper AT3s. No rubbing at all, although I removed the front mudflaps for aesthetics even before the upgraded tires...it looks a wee bit tight, so I will add 5100s someday and set at .85.

 

ok thanks for the info I appreciate it

 

And to clarify, by "stock suspension" I also refer to the rear. I do not have an AAL, only 3 springs.
