265/75 is a 31x10.50...

4.56's would be what you want.

unless you're 3.4? maybe 4.30's?

which particular tire are you looking at, cuz i bet money that the tire your looking at, is closer to 31" instead of 32".

either way i believe 4.56's might still be best.

my friends old '02 Tacoma on 265/75's (his measured to 31x10.50 Wrangler Authority A/T's) and his truck was still a rocket...lol 2.7L 5spd single cab shortbed.

FWIW...I drive on 265/75 BFG AT's with stock 4.10's, It's fine, sure, if I could snap my fingers and get 4.56's I would. I'd like to see how they perform. I have a few intake mods. Overall I'm happy with 31" tires and 4.10's. I have the 3.4 auto however.

Regearing for 265/75s isn't worth the money IMO, but if you did, I agree 4.56s would be the best.

2.7 4Runners are gutless.

I didn't see that he had a 2.7, I must have read over post 3. Still, I wouldn't spend the $$ for 4.56s myself. It's still gonna be gutless either way, might as well go 4.88s and 33s IMO.

Auto 3.0's come stock with 31's and 4.88's. Think about it.
