265/70 vs. 275/70 Bridgestone Revos?

So my next tire is going to be the REVO. The BFG A/T's are just too much in more ways than one for me. Now my question is which tire is better for me. I may one day go with TRD wheels, but thats not a gaurantee. I also have a Sport Edition so would the 275's fill out the flares better? I also want to keep my 21 mpg or very close to it. Any ideas? Or Pictures?

The 265/70R16 tire is a 30.6" tall tire and a 275/70R16 (factory size on FJ80-100) is 31.2" and its only 0.6" taller, also it is wider and costs way more than the 265. I would recommend a 265/75R16 tire as that is a 31.6" tire, a full 1" taller and slightly more narrow.

Eh, I don't want the power loss and mileage drop from the 75's. Its not much of a loss but I am trying to get away from the big truck look as I just sold my Ranger on 33's.

Thanks for the input though, I didn't realize it cost so much more.

I purchased 265/75/16 REVOs a couple thousand miles ago.

I absolutely LOVE them!

And I lost about 1-2mpg (give or take, depending on driving conditions) over the crappy Dunlops (stock) that I used to have.
