Default "New" tires...

So last Saturday I got some new (to me) tires, still has good/even tread on 'em... I was just wondering, I went from 255/65R/16's to 265/75R/16's. Is there anything I need to or should do to make sure everything else is still good to go? TIA everyone!

Not sure what you mean by good to go but as long as the lug nuts are tight, start rollin! When i bought my 01 it had 265/75/16 on it and i replaced those with the same size and because of all the brand new tread they rubbed a little but it hasnt hurt anything!

Long as they don't rub you're good to go. Understand of course, that your speedo will be off a bit. Good excuse to buy a tuner!!!

Yeah, that was my main concern moving to bigger tires - did I have to re-calibrate anything. With the bigger tires, am I goiing faster than the speedo says then?
