Is the difference between them really noticeable?

The difference between 265/70r17 and 285/70r18 tires is noticeable, but whether it matters depends on what you’re looking for. The 285/70r18 tires are wider and slightly taller, which can give you a more aggressive look, better traction, and potentially a smoother ride on rough terrain. However, they might also be heavier and could slightly impact your fuel efficiency and steering response.

On the other hand, the 265/70r17 tires are more common and generally more affordable. They might offer a bit better fuel economy and a lighter feel while driving. If you’re mostly driving on highways or city streets, you might not notice a huge difference in everyday performance.

So, if you’re into off-roading or want a beefier look, the 285/70r18 might be worth it. If you’re looking for something more practical and cost-effective, the 265/70r17 should do the job just fine.
