Stock tire vs. new tire ...What issues if any?
I have a 2004 XLT 2wd and I am going to change to a much larger tire this week (Nitto TG 325/60/18). I am wondering if there are any other concerns besides the Speedometer that I should worry about. Brakes? Gears? etc...here is what I found with the tire calculator
Any input from the experts will be very helpfull. I have 18 Eagle alloys with a 5 inch backspace and BFG rugged trail 275/65/18 on the truck already and a 2.5 front level going on before the tires do
