irunner

Hey guys,

Two of my tires have nails in them,they are 255/70/16. My dad has two extra tires that are 265/75/16, he told me to put the bigger tires on the back because eventually i want to upgrade to 265/75/16 all the way around. Would this cause any major problems? thanks

dont run it in 4WD while they are different sizes, and you'll be fine.
you might be fine anyway. I run 265/75/16's in the rear and 265/70/16's in the front.
But I am only 2WD, so no issues for me.

As long as you dont run it in 4wd you'll be fine. (speedo might be a little off though)

taco or 4runner and what year is it, as others said, dont run in 4wd, but if you have an 01-02 4runner, dont even bother, VSC will give you its period on a stick.

It'a 1997 4runner SR5 2wd.

go for it then for a while, but it may drive just a tiny bit odd.

it rly wont make much of a difference. been there done that. except even more so of a difference. i had 215/70/14's on the front and 245/70/15's on the back for a while. it was a little weird, but it was just like the rear was lifted a little higher than the front. pretty normal anyways right?

ive also driven with different treaded tires before. same deal. except one would spin on wet roads because it was a ht ,and the ohter was an at.

Yeah, if it's a 2WD, don't sweat it.

speedo will be ~5% off (i.e. at 50 mph you'll actually be doing 52.5mph)

And actually if you were on slippery/sandy ground you could put it in 4WD and it wouldn't really be a problem. Tires slip a bit in that terrain anyways.
