Hi sifus!

Recently I changed my Tires from H/T (Dueler Bridestone) to A/T tires (Yokohama Geolander). I went to the 4x4 shop and the guy gave me a good deal for 16 inch tires. So not only did i changed my tires from H/T to A/T, i also changed a different rim. But he told me that the spare tires dun need to change so i kept my spare tire without changing it.

Originally my tires were 255/70R15 but now it is 265/70R16

I want to ask,

1. What is the difference i will feel from this change?
2. Is it ok to not change the spare tires, or suggested to change the spare tire as well?
3. Do i need to take note of any changes from the new tires?

Thx in advance, im not so good at these stuff

You should have down the profile to 65..... just kidding biggrin.gif

1. Slightly better handling but I don't think it affect the FC too much as unlike sedan, 4wd is not so sensitive to tyre size changes unless you up to 18 inch or more.
2. Okay but ride is slightly wobbly at 80km/h and higher when you're running on the 15" spare tyre.
3. Keep an eye on the braking performance for a slight changes, which I doubt so.
