We just picked up a new GX 460 and it has 19" factory rims. The tire size is 265/55 R19
We live in central virginia and go up in the mountains alot, there is snow and plenty of un paved roads to explore. I prefer a good all terrain tire but it is nearly impossible to find a 265 R19 all terrain.
Today I began wondering if I could downsize to a 255 from a 265.
Would the smaller tire seat ok in my rim?
Its not that big of a difference but I guess this is a pretty un common thing, it seems like most people want bigger tires but thats not an option with my rim.
If I step down to a 255/55 R19 or a 255/60 R19, my options are wide open for all terrains.
Thoughts?
