New tyres

[joelogozzo]

Hi all im looking at buying some new tyres can anyone tell me if a higher profile tyre will alter my speedo.
Im running 265/70/16 now and im looking at 265/75/16 how much will this alter the speedo.

Hi mate there are a few links to conversion sites in the wheels and tyres site. From memory me going from 31.5 inch to 33 inch ment that when the Speedo said 95, I was doing 100 if that helps

hi joel . I got an 04 gu and did the exact thing you are thinking of doing . speedo was 4 to 5 kmph slower than true speed . new rubber fitted and now spot on, 100 = 100 kmph and about 400revs less at 100 . win win . done 30 thousand and absolutely no regrets . hope this helps .

Bridgestone D694 (265/75R16 LT) is anyone using these tyres and what can you tell me about them.

Yep thats what I run and think they are great . only drama with them is true 4wding in muddy bog holes . tend to slip and slide and get stuck a bit . everything else fantastic .

Same here Boots
According to my GPS/ the speedo is now spot on after fitting the larger tyres. Just shows that they put the wrong ones on in the 1st place LOL.
