A rubber question

Ah, got you! I'm talking rubber of the truck tire type. My Tacoma 4x4 has very beaten set of 265/70/16. Money is tight and I found a used set that is great for the price. The size is 225/75/16 for the new/used set. My question is, will these work for me? I know liitle about tire sizes is why i ask. The tire shop is closed now too.

 

265 is the width of the tire - 70 height/profile- 16 rim size. What is the speed rating on the two tires? The other thing is the width of your rim will be the determining factor.

Deviating the width that much could drastically effect the  handling performance. What is the factor tire spec's and are they  still on the factory rim?

265=10.43 inches wide
225=8.85 inches wide

Juan, I generally avoid used rubbers....

Yer cruise control and spedo will also be off. And in some cases yer abs and traction control will act stupid on ya.

The 225 is a much shorter tire. Abou 1.5 inches. On a good note, you should get a little better milage.

I have tacoma also your truck was supposed to have 235's. 265 will cost you gas but look better. I went with 31's cheeper than 265

Sheesh, I thought you were referring to wetsuits, what with the start of Abalone season just a couple days away!

Hey Juan, if you decide to go new, tirerack.com is a good site.  I had my tires shipped to my door for less than I could get them anywhere in town.  Lots of information, comparisons, reviews, etc.

Still have to get em mounted but on that site you can find who does it cheapest.
