Hi, I know the old Terios is not much of a favoured vehicle, but hoping someone can advise. It currently runs on 205/70/15, and am looking to put 215/75/15 on it. My question is, due to the small engine / low torque, will I really notice any difference in power when green laning?
Cheers

I think they are a size too much.
I would go 205/75 R 15 (& have on Jimny's and it has been all the size increase needed)
But actually when fitting tyres to the likes of a Jimny 195/80 R 15 mud tyres works well but might not 'Have the look' if that matters.

Thanks. I was mainly going for the bigger tyre to help increase the ground clearance. The 215/75 gives 20mm extra, but 205/75 gives just 10mm. But, I don't want to make it bigger than it can handle (no low range to fall back on).
Cheers
