I have 265/70 16 goodyear wranglers on my 2005 3.0 TD patrol. I want to change to 275/70/16 BF MT's. Will it have an effect on my Feul cons. and the power?
If anyone can help?

Re: M/T Tyres
Those BF M/T's are terrible on wet tar - so be careful in the rain.

Re: M/T Tyres
Those KM2's are great 
Idon't see a KM2 listed in 275/70/16 - only in 265/75/16 and then 285/75/16 ??
The overall diameter of the KM2 265/70/16 is 31.9 inches and the 285/75/16 is 33.1 inches.
Your 265/70/16 Goodyear Wranglers should be about 30.6 inches so if you stick to 265 you should feel no difference in performance

Re: M/T Tyres
I can only recommend the Khumo KL 71's. I changed from the 265 (31") Bridgestone Duellers to 285 Khumo M/T (33"). Minimal power loss, but a bit more noisy on the tar....... BUT offroad....... WOW !!!!!.... and price wise.....much cheaper !!

Re: M/T Tyres
You can easily go for 285/75 R16's the 3.0 has enough power and the speed reading will be spot on.
PS The one thing I did find by going to the 285/75s (and some of the other patrol owners I've spoken to have also found this) is that the car tends to pull slightly to the left

Re: M/T Tyres
Is it possible to go to 285/75/16 MTs on a standard suspension or is some lift required first?
