Welcome.Interesting that you have smaller tyres on.Do anything good to your fuel consumption

[pfgrobler]

Yip, I was a bit annoyed when I realized they were smaller - until I got home and saw that if they were any bigger the car wouldn't fit through the garage door

The 2nd hand dealer replaced the tyres before it went onto the floor, It seems the 245/75R16 are quite bit cheaper than the 265/70R16.

I am looking at going to the std size but will probably only do that once these are worn.

It would probably does help the fuel consumption - but I dot have anything to compare it against
I'm driving slower than I think I am
I'm not driving as far as I think I am
and the Gear box probably locks up more

Actually the circumference of a 245/75R16 tyre and a 265/70R16 tyre are almost identical; the 265/70R16 has a circumference that is nominally less than 0.5% greater than the 245/75R16. The higher profile of the 245/75R16 compensates for the smaller width, so to speak, at least in terms of the circumference.

Gerrit, your right I had the sight wrong, 245/70R 16
