ORE Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Sorry if this has been beat to death in the past but I couldn't find everything I needed in other posts. If y'all can help me out I'd really appreciate it. From the other posts I understand that 31 X 10.5 tires should fit my stock '98 Pathfinder SE. Follow-up questions: 1. First, am I correct in saying they'll fit? I can just go to the tire shop and have them put on with no modifications? The 265/75/R15's on there now sure seem close to the springs/struts -- how do 31's not rub? 2. Would a change to 31's have any significant effect on gas mileage? 3. Does the bigger tire have any significant effects with regard to transmission/gearing? 4. Finally, if any of y'all run BFG All-Terrain's, what kind of mileage have y'all gotten out of them? Thank y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_johnson Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 well, 265/75R15's are the metric equivalent of 31's. 265/70R15's, like I have right now, are the stock size and are equal to 30x10.5. The tires won't really impact gearing, since the change would be so small. Most have reported a drop in mileage, anywhere from .5 to 2 mpg.

DJ Dank Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Good answer BigJ. I was just going to say. My stock tires were 265/<b>70</b>/15's. If you've already got 75 series tires, then you should not really notice any difference from that jump to 31's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
