Please post back if you go with the 245/75R17. I've been thinking of running that exact size. The tire that I was looking at was the Hankook ATM.Barjrob1972 wrote:Okay. Thanks for that. I did more research and math and came to the conclusion that was the solution. Now I'm debating with myself on 265/70-17's or 245/75-17's.
Will do but it may be awhile. I'm leaning hard toward a 245/75-17 P tire and was going to with a Toyo Open Country AT2 but they don't have that size in a P rated tire so I'll probably look at the Grabbers. With only 22k miles on the little truck I still have a lot of life left in the factory Bridgestone's so I'm going to try and run them out first. I may do the switch as winter gets closer but in Texas, that may not be until January or so. After I got a quote of $1k on the Toyo's, suddenly the factory Bridgestone's looked a lot better.Fargo wrote:Please post back if you go with the 245/75R17.

Its a passenger tire like the factory tire so it will ride better than the load range E tires that many other tires in that size are. That will also make it a lighter tire to help save gas mileage.
Sounds like speculation to me. Who knows if its accurate or not. I would guess not as most manufacturers read above actual. Here is some good info regarding speedometer accuracy. http://www.caranddriver.com/features/sp ... er-scandalBarjrob1972 wrote:Anyway, I noticed with the factory 265/65-17's, the speedo reads 3 mph under. I have read the Pathfinder was actually calibrated for 265/70-17's and replacing the tires with this size fixes the speedo, although I can't really confirm that. Can anyone shed a little light on the subject for me?
