im sorry to post this. considering i've read through a couple post about this already, but i am wanting to make sure i am understanding this right before i spend the money on some tires..

Ive got a 05 Sport Edition 4 Runner, that my wife drives 90% of the time and we are needing to buy some new tire..

Would i have any problems going from the 265/65/17 to the
265/70/17?

im thinking about buying some Yokohama's Geolandar H/T-S
i've read the reviews on different sites and they seem fine for what we are going to use them for..

thanx in advance..

Not to worry, 265/70/17 work fine (no rubbing) and are usally cheaper.

After going to 265/70/17 tires I lost 1-1.5 mpg (gps miles)some acceleration and braking. Otherwise no problems. Your speedometer will be off approx 2mph at 70 mph.
