Hi everyone.
I have lincoln rims with tire size 265/70/18. I found a good deal on some Goodrich Radial Long Trail Tires P265/60R18. Im not sure on the numbers. Am I able to swap these out with no problem.

 

You should be fine....

 

Yeah. The new tires will just have a smaller sidewall.

 

You'll probably lose some ride quality, gain slightly in handling, and your speedometer will be off very slightly -- definitely not enough to get worked up about, especially if you're getting a good deal on the tires.

 

thanks guys I think Im gonna get them

I found this link for tire siae yall might like. Now it says my tire percentage will change by 6% and not to go over 3%. Does anyone know about these percentages.

 

Staying within a target percentage is just so that you don't throw off the specs for your gearing, speedo, odometer, tranny shift computer, etc. 'too much'.

3% is considered transparent.

5% or more in either direction is where there'll be a noticeable change.

In your case, if you go DOWN in overall tire diameter, your speedo will register slightly faster than actual, your odometer will thusly seem to climb slightly faster, (one mile according to the ODO will be less than a real mile) and you'll end up shifting a tiny bit sooner all the time.

These may all seem negative, but you'll gain acceleration off the line, cornering and handling stability improvements, and a firmer rider. (some would say the firmer ride is a good thing, some will say it's bad; depends on what kind of feel you like from your vehicle)
