04 TB LS tire questionsteamer482 10-19-2009, 11:13 AM Looking at purchasing new tires for my 04 LS - Here's my question, since 245-70-16 is standard, how much will a 245-75-16 affect the truck and will they work? As anyone used this size yet on their TB? Thanks maxwedge 10-19-2009, 01:07 PM Slightly taller and narrower. jdmccright 10-20-2009, 12:45 PM Increasing the aspect ratio will result in a taller tire: Original wall height (from rim) = 245 x .70 = 171.5mm New wall height = 245 x .75 = 183.75mm Difference in tire diameter = (183.75-171.5) x 2 = 24.5mm = 0.96 in Thus your rolling diameter will increase by ~ 1 inch. This can make your speedo and odo register slow, i.e., you will be going faster than whan the instruments indicate. Changes to rolling diameter of 1-2% are usually acceptable. To keep the same rolling diameter, decrease the tire's width by 20mm for each increase of 5 in the aspect ratio: Adjusted wall height = 225 x .75 = 168.75 Adjusted difference in tire diameter = (171.5-168.75) x 2 = 5.5 mm = 0.22 in vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
