Hi,

13.75mm higher and overall 27mm in diameter bigger, you will probably not even feel a difference in power loss.

Cheers

I'm running 265/75R16 tires without any issues.

I fitted M/T tires, so the fuel consumption went up by 1L/100km.

The Torque Converter will also lock at a slightly higher speed, but it is hardly noticeable.
