Hi,
I own a 2007 Toyota Prado.
The car has this tyre size on it since new: 265/65/17, which is what is stated on the tyre placard. Can I fit 265/70/17 tyres on it?
I have a 2" lift and these slightly bigger tyres will not cause any problems with rubbing or similar. There is alot of mixed information on the internet, and I need a confirmation from the source. The tyres I'm looking at exceed the minimum speed and load rating
