I have a Nissan navara with tyres 255/70/R16. I have the opportunity to pick up an extra spare tyre (brand new) very very cheep but it is a 265/70/R16.
Is this going to cause problems if I ever have to use it?
Cheers
Daryl

According to my calculations, the (nominal) diameter of a 255/70/16 tyre is 30.05" or 763.24mm, and a 265/70/16 is 30.6" or 777.24mm, a difference of 0.55", or 14mm...
Not a big enough difference to be of any concern, IMO.. (though your LSD may not like running for any distance w/- mis-matched tyres at each end;-))
Can ya get 2 of 'em? that way ya can run 'em as a 'matched pair'
what width rims are on the Navara?
