OK, 265/75/16's for $174.00. I don't think I can get Treadright's here. Again, I really think I can't touch this price with any other MT/AT.
So, that means a 20mm wider tire? But not taller? Why do I want those. Does it involve cutting or changing anything? Let me start trying to find pics....

OK...wheel's let's see the side pic. I know you've shown it elsewhere but humor me.....but that's gonna cost me at least $300 plus more and they're not gonna ship them to PR for free.

OK, Mike says I lose mpg's. More with the 265's than the 245. And even more with the lift. Adds up. Does it stop me...probably not.
Boss says I lose torque and hp and should consider new gears to offset.
I'm not convinced yet for 20mm width. For a poser like me the 245's look the same at the side, require no adjustments have better torque/hp.
Rebuttal?

So it would be a 245mm wide tread, 183.75mm tall sidewall mountable on 16inch wheels. The total height would be 30.5inches tall. The manufacture, however probably has some slightly different values based on their measurements.

245 is the width of the tread in mm. 75 is the % of the width that makes the height of the sidewall. 16 is the wheel(rim) diameter in inches.

the 265/75/16 is how much taller than the 245/75/16's?
