I checked out your gallery and you ROCK!!! do the 265's rub at all while off road? How do they handle on road, noisey, gas mileage diffrence...etc


I also just realized how much bigger can you go and still use the doughnut spare to get you home?
Absolutely no rubbing and no trimming. I wanted the 265/75/16, but the Firestone rep would not install them if they were not listed as an optional replacement. I had to talk them into these. They're just covering their ***** I guess. But either way I love them. Road noise is no worse than the stock Bridgestones and for an all terrain tire they still take on/off ramps at 60 MPH. My only regret is that I got a passenger tire instead of a LT tire. They are still great off road but the LT tire rating would have gave a better sidewall while aired down. The ride is really good too on road, so I guess it's all give and take. Gas mileage is still at 15-17 MPG. These tires are just about an inch over stock larger so I may be able to hobble off the Interstate with with the donut, but I would not trust it much further than the nearest service station to park it and get a tire fixed. I do have a regular Bridgestone A/T for a full size trail spare mounted on a Trooper steel rim.
