Default Tire Size Limit Question.

I have have an opportunity to pick up a new set of Michelins, 265/70-17's.
Does anyone know any reason why these would not be a good idea, clearance, etc?

Thanks!

What style of Michelin is this?

I don't think the Cross Terrains come in this size.

The slight increase in the size of the tire might not cause a noticeable difference in how the truck performs, but a different style of Michelin might not be as well suited for the GX as the OE Cross Terrains.

Thanks, but unless I'm missing something, I don't see anything about tire size?
