I have a Prado GXL diesel on order (delivery March 2008) and I need tyres which are a bit more aggressive than those supplied. I am thinking about Goodyear MTRs (265/70 R17) which are a bit bigger than the 265/65R17 supplied. Does anyone know if this is going to cause a problem for me?

Thanks Matt - very helpful. Do you know whether 265/7017 are legal? Do they have any offset implications? Any problems with the transfer case? -
I fitted BFG all-terrains 265/70/17 to my D4D from new.
Checking the speed with my GPS shows the speedo as reading within 1km/h of GPS speed - the speedo reads 101km/h and GPS 100km/h and it is similar at all speeds!

I also have fitted BFG AT's from new, great tyre. Just remember because it's a little bit larger , the hard cover for the spare will not fit.Originally posted by Walter

Mud Terrains for new Prado
Thanks everyone for the advice. Does anyone know whether fitting 265/70R17 (instead of 265/65R17) will void warranty or makes the vehicle illegal?Comment
