The tires you have now are 29", if you go up to 31", you'll have about 7% less torque at the wheel than before. Probably not enough to notice but you'll have to make that decision for yourself. If its a big issue, then the solution is to regear the axles to compensate for the taller tire. -- Roger |

I just went from a 265/75R-16 to 285/75R-16 on my V-10 powered truck and I noticed a decrease in performance right away. Matt 99 V-10 Super Duty, Super Cab 4x4 |

Going from 30" tires to 32" tires in my 92 Bronco made a noticable
difference. Both in power, and in MPG. "Matt Mead" > wrote in message ... > On Tue, 31 Aug 2004 21:12:24 -0500, "Douglas A.
