I currently have 255/70 16 tyres at the moment and need to replace them. I would prefer to go to a LT tyre but in this size I'm very limited in LT's. Coopers have one but its has a lower load rating so can't use it.

It has been suggested to me to go up to 265/70 16 as there is a greater range to choose from, but from what I understand it will put the speedo out by 1.8%. I was wondering whether this is a common approach to getting a better choice of tyre or if I should just stay with my original size so as it wont effect speed but also the trip meter.
Any suggestion appreciated

Cheers Dave
