285/70/17 - 32.7 x 11.22
265/70/17 - 31.6 x 10.43
and the weight difference is only about 10 lbs. per tire difference is size.....

Currently have stock 255/70R16 with 65K on them so their time is up. Thinking of going up one size to 265/70R16 for a better look. Anyone do this? With today's gas prices and the relative lack of power from a 4.6L in a Screw I'm leary of any tire that's bigger than stock. Any input from personal experience would be great.

derek, dont know about that 285 with a 4.6 I really wouldnt feel comfortable because I dont know anybody with that setup and have never even driven one with the 4.6. I have heard people on here say that it was a noticeable difference moving up to 33's with 4.6
