tire size, 265 75 16 or 285 75 16

[brendan]

in need of new tyres, currently got 285 75 16s. thinking of downsizing to help reduce chances of breaking ****. already got a stuffed transfer case. (anyone got a spare?)

i worked out by down sizing i will lose just over 25mm diameter and a lose of 12mm in height.

just want opinions to give me both sides of the argument.

265/75/16 suit the navs better i reckon and as you said less chance of breaking stuff!!

12mm is 12mm having IFS you need all the height you can get your hands on.
Try 235/85/R16 there tall yet thin. Just like my missus hahaha tall maybe...

If you can afford it a set of diff gears will bring the drive train to stock strains.
But still keep an eye on the bearings.
