225/75/15's tires with 4.56 gear ratio?
I have a 95 4runner SR5 V6 4x4
I need new tires, but 31's are expensive. Will it hurt anything for me to use a smaller tire size with 4.56 gear ratio. I live in Tahoe, so I'm going into winter season now. I need to be able to daily drive it as normal. Am I shooting myself in the foot going to a smaller tire? With it hurt anything besides inaccurate speedometer/gas mileage?
I don't do much offroading except occasional dirt roads. It's completely stock.

225/75/15 is more of a car tire. At least go with the LT235/75/15. This is about a 29 inch tire. It should be fine with the 4.56, just a built in overdrive.

That's what I would say also, and that's what I'm going to go down to pretty soon to replace my 31's. Personally I feel 31's make my nearly stock truck a little slow and sluggish because I mostly do highway driving.
The original off the lot tires on my 4cyl Dlx 4x4 regular cab model were 225/75/15 Bridgestones.....Dueler's if I remember correctly.

The size for most all yotas and runners is 225 75 15. unless you have the big wheel package where 31s come stock. I had 235 75 15s on mine and the truck loved it. (22RE)
