My 2000 4Runner SR5 4wd has stock wheel/tires at 225/75/15. I'd really like to upgrade them to 265/70/16.

Having researched for a while, I was told the bigger wheel/tires will fit well (no rubing) without any lifting. However the problems appear to be, brake (it takes longer to stop), sluggish (it accelarates much slower), and fuel inefficency. I do not want to make my runner look better by sacrificing too much on performance. (By the way, it costs $$$ to regain performance by re-gearing )

Can anybody who did this tell me your real experience? Thanks in advance,


You're going to be just under 31 inces of tire...

You will notice a drop in power, and fuel economy...

A friend of mine went from 235/75/r15's to 265/75/r16's

He said he noticed about a 1MPG drop (we did the math to compensate for the bigger tires) but not a big loss in power.

Hope that helpped.
