I have hunted everywhere and cannot find a definitive answer to my problem.
I have new BFG 265/65 x 17 tyres on my 2004 Prado (VZJ125)
I also had a tyre blowout with less than 30,000 on the tyres. ( My spare was a Dunlop)
Problem is the BFG dealer has no stocks of the 265/65 tyre.
They do have 265/70.
So I replaced both rear tyres with 265/70 x 17
With a 5% difference in the tyre profile ( translates to 12.5mm increase in diameter) am I risking diff or transmission wind up
Should I also replace the front tyres?
