The larger circumference will change the gearing (slower acceleration, speedometer error), and increased weight (rotational weight is far more noticeable than static weight), but should not contribute to locking up when braking.Originally Posted by mball
They are a bit larger. I hadn't considered the load rating and that affecting the lockup nor the fact that they were AT's. I know there is a lot of discussion on the forum about tires but is there a tire you run you are happy with?
I've been running C-load rating 265/70/17's on my GX470 for years, this is the 2nd set, no ill effects to note.
Sounds good, I will get the correct load rating next time I'm due for tires in spring. Thanks again for your help!
