Hi all,
Recent new LR4 owner. Truck has newish all seasons, but I'd prefer to put a set of dedicated winter tires on it. Locally I can get a good deal on a set of snows that are new takeoffs from another vehicle, but they are not the "right" size. 255/60R19 instead of 255/55R19.
That apparently works out to 31" instead of the stock 30". I know the speedo will be off but any other issues? Will the 31" size fit without rubbing? Vehicle is totally stock in terms of suspension.

Only possible issue: you may have trouble running the smaller spare tire - should you ever need it - with 3 larger ones as there is a +/- 5% difference in number of revs per mile - substantial enough for the transmission to act up and potentially prevent upshifts, for example. You may want to consider buying an inexpensive, matching spare wheel and tire (assuming you now have a compact donut), or just a matching 5th tire if you have a full size spare wheel under the car, just in case.
