Well, Hello everyone. I haven't really posted anything it quite some time. Been on and off checking things out but anyway I wanted to share my latest upgrade. Ive had my 2011 Super Cab XLT now for 7 years. It came to me with brand new Hankook tires. I wasn't excited about them but they have lasted over 70,000 miles.

So I just had them replaced and all new brakes too at the same time. Stock is 235/75 but I wanted the wheel wells filled in a bit better than that so I went with 255/70 They are just wide enough to extend the sidewalls outside of the fender but the tread (that slings the mud) is still within the body.

I am very happy with the look and the ride.

Will that have any effect on gas mileage?

Congrats & don't forget to correct your Speedometer now

Thanks, but the 255/70 is two tenths of an inch higher than the 235/75. Isint that close enough?

Chrisj

I don't think it will make a significant difference. The indicator is down from 19.8 to o 19.6 since the tires, but it has varied that much before.

They are surely not much wider but wider means more rolling resistance.

So how do you correct the speedometer? Through Forscan?

Yep or some tuners or a dealer.
