just a post for those wondering...
Just installed the 265/75-16's on my stock suspension'd 98 4d Explorer. The only exception is that I do have Bilstein Shocks all around.
I've not been able to make the 265/75's scrub anywhere yet. Other post said that this size would scrub on the front, but mine will not. HOWEVER I'm sure the Bilstein shocks keep it from sagging as they are fairly stiff.
The Bridgestone AT Revo's are as quiet as my previous Michelin LTX M/S and ride just as smooth. The difference comes in the stability. The Michelins seem "goosey" but the Revos seem very glued to the road. To give the example my wife gave, backing out of our driveway you cross the curb/gutter system which w/ the Michelins rocked the Explorer back and forth quite a bit, but w/ the Revos it seems to stabilize much better and quicker.
Also, the tires look AWESOME -real beefy and manly!!!
It will change your speedometer as going from the 255/70 to 265/75 will change it about 5mph. However, my speedometer is now finally correct because after my silver face gauge install I was reading 5mph off the other way -so vhala, I'm now corrected, despite I know that my odemeter is spinning a bit slower.
Just fyi -hope it helps someone
