1. Clearance: The wider 225 tires and taller sidewalls may affect the clearance between your tires and the suspension or other components in the wheel wells. Make sure there's enough clearance to avoid any rubbing or interference.
2. Wheel fitment: The original 225/70R15 tires have a rim width range of 5.5-7 inches, while the wider 225/75R15 tires may require a wider rim width. Check the recommended rim width specifications for your tires and ensure that your wheels can accommodate them safely.
3. Gear ratios and performance: The taller sidewalls of the 225/75R15 tires may slightly affect your vehicle's gear ratios, causing a minor reduction in acceleration and fuel efficiency.
4. Speedometer accuracy: The larger diameter of the 225/75R15 tires can lead to a slight discrepancy in your speedometer readings. The actual speed may be lower than what is indicated on the speedometer, so be aware of this when driving.
If you're not completely certain about the compatibility and safety of fitting larger tires to your Ford Ranger, it's always recommended to consult with a reputable tire specialist or your vehicle dealership for expert advice and guidance.
