When I was going to buy tyres, the wagon had those 265/75/16 on the rims, I was looking at a set of 285 for the Patrol, only because my brother had a set. BFG had a spesh on their rubber and by the time I paid for the tyres, the sales man said they put 305/70/16 on, as they`re the same size tyre nearly to what I was after and the spare is in the rear of the vehicle, as it wouldn`t fit on the spare wheel carrier that was bolted to the door. I haven`t felt any difference in the change of tyre size at all, but I do know that my speedo shows the same as a radar monitor that they put on the side of the road from time to time. They`ll give you a bit more clearance too, but if it`s of some benefits in a good way, it must be okay.
