two close up pic w/ Revos

[BlkSS1755]

just got my new Revo's in a 265/70/17.. the far away pics were too dark, so i'll post them again when i get a chance to take better ones.. so far so good.. NO rubbng at all.. NO road noise.. it feels like the truck is just a tad higher getting in and out.. and yes, i do like the black side out better than the white lettering..

thats some thin clearance on those tires. hopefully while turning and the suspension compresses, you dont rub. kinda looks like it might from those pics.

I've had my 265-70-17 REVO for seven months. They don't rub. Never have.

About how many miles should the REVOs get before they need to be changed out??????

That sure looks close up front. Have you or woodbert done some spirited off-road driving to confirm that they don't rub?

BTW, the BSWs look nice!

i cant speak for Woodbert, but i've done lock to lock u-turns both directions, and there is no rub.. unfortunately, there arent too many places where i live to go off roading to test.. we got 3.5" of snow yesterday, and the Revos performed GREAT! more pics to come soon..

Looks good! Just wondering what that size is in inches 31's or 32"s. All that metric stuff is confusing. They are a bit bigger than stock right?

265mm X 0.7 = 185.5mm (sidewall height in millimeters)

185.5mm X 1"/25.4mm = 7.3" (sidewall height converted to inches)

17" + 2 X 7.3" = 31.6" = (rim diameter plus twice the sidewall height gives wheel diameter)

Edited to add commentary

Well now thats clear as mud!
Nice math skills - now I feel much less samrt.

I did get the 31 part thanks!

Or you can go to the tire manufaturers web site and see what their true measurements are. The metric #'s are a good "guide" as to the size of the tire but not all tires are equal and their actual sizes will vary from one manufacturer to another.

Also remember that those measurements are for an unloaded, unmounted tire. The tire will actually measure smaller once mounted and on the vehicle.

Is it possible to adjust the speedo to compensate for different tire sizes?
