Tire size opinion

Postby Kestral » Thu Oct 09, 2014 4:40 pm

Anyone here go from 245/75/16 to 265/70/16 and if so what did you notice in ride, handling and snow and rain performance? For better or worse? Without changing my spair tire I can go to either size on my Pathfinder S model.

No disrespect patomwazi, but those two sizes are almost identical,

Diameter is 30.6 vs 30.5
Speed difference is 0.2 mph at 60 mph
