So im thinking of getting rid of my stock dunlop tires and going with toyo tires either the Open Country A/T or there new Open Country H/T which is there new all season tire. so here my questions
A) Do any of you out there have theses tires and what do u think of them?
B) so the stock tire size is 265/65-17 but im thinking of getting wider tires like 270ish or 275 if fit my big question is how many MPH by going wider will it throw off my speedometer or is there away to recalibrate with the wider tires?

a) I can't help much other than I have run the Open Country and liked them. I ran a 70's series on my old Trooper. I liked them enough that after almost 50k I bought a 2nd set.
b) A 275/60/17 would work/fit just fine. The Speedo will be fine as the overall diameter is about the same as the OE tire. Diameter can affect speedo readings; width does not. I have never seen a 270/xx/xx, only 265's & 275's. A 275/60/17 may be a hair shorter than OE. Worn 265/65 and new 275/60's are probably identical.
c) There'll be no issues.
