Hey guys,
Got a spare set of AT tires off a Navara. Size 265/70/16. I am currently running 245/70/16 more highway pattern tires.
I'm aware the 265er have a bigger diameter.
I am running 70% in town, pulling trailer, also odd camping trip and across country.
Wondering if it's worth putting them on my rims. Will there be a noticable difference in
- speedo reading (actually it is showing more than GPS shows)
- shifting gears (auto trans; will change 3rd/4th gear be affected much?)
- general handling/wear
- fuel economy
I am also being offered another set of 4 tires coming off a ute. Highway pattern. 235/70/16. Like new. $200 incl. rims all together. Might have just the opposite effect?
Thanks for your comments and sharing experiences.
