Re: Violent Shaking when using 4 Wheel Drive

It's got like 120k miles on it. Pretty sure any warranties are expired by now. Good thought though

Made my decision!!!

I did it! I finally pulled the trigger. As most of you could probably tell, I REALLY wanted the smaller 265/70/16 to help with power, gas mileage, ride quality (D rating instead of E) and to maintain...

I went to Discount Tire today and did some comparing. They were even willing to mount one of each size just so I could see how they looked.

Final Thoughts ?

Re: 265/70R16 vs. 265/75R16. Pics???

I see what you're saying, but just to clarify:
Factory tire size is 255/70R16 which is a 30.2
265/70R16s would be 1/2" taller than stock @ 30.7
265/75R16s would be 1 1/2" taller than stock @ 31.7

DANG! I had made up my mind to get 265/75s, but now I may have to reconsider. Those 265/70s look great! Love the FX4 logo as well. Nice touch
