275/70R17 vs 265/70R17?

[mister_mcgoo]

Hey there,

I’ll hopefully be picking up a 25” SR5 in about a month (hopefully sooner). The first thing I’d like to change is the tires..

I see a fair amount of posts for 285’s, but not quite as many for 265 or 275? Just wondering if anyone has a pic of either 265/70R17 or 275/70R17 setups for comparison?

Thanks all!

I have 265 70 R 17s. They come out at 31.6 inches. I wish I went taller, but like handling and look.

I was about to start a similar thread.

Aside from the weight penalty of 275/70/17, it seems like the best option if using the 17” SR5 wheels and you want to upsize. 265s still leave a lot of room in the wheel wells. 285s shouldn't be mounted on a 7” wide wheel per most manufacturer specs.

Please share pics if you have 275s on SR5 wheels.

These are mounted on the OEM wheels.

Any more road noise than the stock SR5 rim?

Are they better at at absorbing road bumps and potholes?

My goals are better, more absorbing over the crappy roads we have. I would like road handling at least as good as the stock "Dueller". No planning any off-road.

Before Westcott Lift with 275/70/17 rides great. This size tire will not rub before or after lift. I have the same size on our 25 Tacoma and stock wheels, still no rub.

After Westcott lift 275/70/17 still a fantastic ride.

And road noise increase, better over crappy roads????

looks are great but function is more important to me.

Here are mine. 265/70/17. Stock wheels on my SR5. Handling? The same or just as good. Looks: 100% better than stock tires. It’s hard to say if there’s been any difference in the way the car drives or gas mileage. nitro terra grapplers, by the way. What I can say is that I feel more confident about the car’s capabilities as well as a needed (as it is the basic trim level) boost to its esthetics.
