Performance/Handling Expectations (Tires)
Hoping to be informed about the difference one can expect between two different tire sizes.
265/70-16 30.6" tall and
265/75-16 31.6" tall
I realize it's just 3% taller over-all.
Thanks in advance.

- Is that enough to make cornering a little more loose or wobbly?
- Will the 75's give a better off-road experience or capability?
- Will gearing be satisfactory to current smaller tires? have 3.55 gears
Thanks in advance.

Honestly, I don't think it will make a noticeable difference handling wise. You will gain a 1/2" clearance for off road, but that really won't make a big difference. You will lower your gear ratio a little, again it will probably only through your speedometer off a couple mph. But it will look better. The looks will most likely be the more noticeable difference.
