I just bought 265/75/16 Nitto terra grapplers for my truck. I changed my mind sold them and bought a 285/75/16 Nitto and am very happy with them so far! A bigger tire will hurt handling a little but it KILLS mpg. with the 265 i was getting 22 now im getting 18 on the highway

The only downfall with a bigger wheel is the tires cost WAY more. My friend bought the same tires as me in a 17 wheel and they cost $50 a tire more
