Going back to my 17's with AT2
Now im stuck between 2 sizes
255/65/17 -110H (exacy same diamiter as originals)
and
265/65/17 - 112T (1.7% bigger)
Which would be the best im aware of load rating, but would 110H be ok , as dont really want to go any bigger in diamiter or wouldnt the 265/65/17 -1.7% greater size make that much difference
Help please

I take it they don't make them in 235 70 17 111H then. I wouldn't want to go below a 111 Load rating personally.

Are you sure about the weight ratings as according to the site Wiki both tyres are rated at 115

265/70R17 General Tire Grabber AT2 (AT) 115 S

Go the larger tyre. Neither you, nor the D3, will notice the difference.

Was thinking bigger, dont you think the 1.7% bigger diamiter will make a difference - i ask because the set i have at mo, is 4% bigger and very noticable in acceleration and MPG
