Tire size?
Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2014 4:49 pm
My PF came with 245/75/16 any problem going to 265/70/16 from what I read the OD will be just about the same just a bit wider. Will the change effect anything?

No problems, it's a very slight increase in diameter and about 1/2" in width. You might lose a little mpg but that's it.

On the next set of tires, would I get better MPG by going to a 70 series tire?
From what I can find, the tread width is ½inch less and shorter diameter will affect odometer by 3.3%. Narrow tire width would reduce rolling resistance.
I often have questioned the wisdom of the tire size Nissan has chosen when noticing how the motor struggles affecting instant MPG per my ScanGuage2. Also may help the towing situation. Hope the local tire shop won’t give me static if I downsize.

approved sizes for 16" for the PF are:
245/75/16
265/70/16
265/75/16
I run the latter with no issues.

Running great so far. Lots of rain today, no problems. Have to take it out for some mud next.
