thanks for chiming in CapriRacer. So LT tires are out. The only next upgrades I have are either 245/75/16 or 265/70/16. I would prefer to stay as thin as stock as possible with the slight increase in sidewall height but 245/75s are not really popular here as P-tires.. only as truck or a/t tires. Its easier to find P-tires for the 265s but would that have some penalty for going wider?

Most likely a slightly taller tire won't be so bad at all, considering the low-end torque of that engine is quite good, as you won't be towing. Also considering it won't go hardcore off-road, maybe a slight increase to ground clearance which would be provided by taller tires won't be so relevant. On a sidenote, isn't there any taller rear-end which could be swapped, to allow a similar performance with smaller tires which would decrease riding height to improve aerodynamics while on highway?

Not that I know in the local tuning scene. Knowing Thailand and its drag racing scene for the D-max I'm pretty sure there's something like this there.
