hi this summer i will replace the tires of my trooper ..
but i noticed that the original size wich is 245/70r16 is a little bit small ..
i want to change it with a wider tire, my options is 265 or 275 mm tire,

i would like to have some more info about what im planing to do ..
tnx guys ..

275/75 was a bit wide and harder to steer in my experience.
255/70 or 265/70 might be better if its available.

thanks sir ..

safe ba sa sayad ang 265 sa trooper? i mean pag niliko yung tire hindi ba tatama sa fender or mudguard ? im planning kasi to replace my stock bridgestone 245/70 h/t to 265/70 dueler H/P .. ung V-shape thread tire ng bridgestone .. para mas pino ang ride dito sa metro ..

if nagpalit nako sa 265 noticable ba ang increase sa gas consumption ng trooper ko? lets say 30 psi lng ung air presure ko ..

i am using 265/75r16. one service advisor post it that it is the maximum without rubbing. but one tsikoteer here is using 285/75. not sure lang kung me rubbing sya.

Sir, I just replaced last week the tires of my 2001 Trooper after 45,000km. Upgraded from 245/70R16 to 265/70R16. Parang mas maganda ang tindig ng Trooper and less bumpy and ride. 30psi front and rear ang air pressure with 3 passengers. Got the tires from MH Miller sa Timog Ave, QC. at discounted price ofP5,800 each from regular price of P6,500.

hindi ba parang sobrang lapad naman nyan? kasi diba sa kotse, ginagawa mo namang manipis ang rubber kapag lumalapad na. Parang yung sa Optra ko, gusto kong gawing 205/50. Dating 195/55. Kaya yung sa Trooper ko baka maging 255/65. Pwede kaya?
