Bigger Tires

[bobvol007]

I have some Michelin LTX that are ready to replace. I have found the tire I want buy but wasn't sure if i could go with the P265/75 R16 I have the 70's now. If i did go bigger what problems would I encounter if any.
Thanks, I look forward on getting your feedback.

They'll fit fine no problem.

You'll experience a small amount of sluggishness b/c of the increase in tire size, but not enough to be concerned with. I have a set of Nitto 265/75s on my '02 and I love them.

Go for it, you'll be fine.

For more info on this topic, just do a search on 265/75s. Between T4R.org and YotaTech.com, you'll find literally a ton of info on this very subject.

Here's just one example: Click Me



Good luck.

Stock '01-'02s might experience slight rubbing at full turns and off road a bit but nothing to be concerned about.
