Not sure why, but these new Hankook 265/70/16 offroad tires look tiny on my 4x4. What do you guys think? Am I crazy? Or should I try to bump up the tire size? (Maybe Discount Tire would take 'em back...)

Hate to say it , but they do look small.
Also as they wear they are going to look smaller and smaller.
I am in agreement, it would be best to trade up.

I have the same size tire on my 2wd, but it is 265/75/16 Toyo Open Country HT for Highway.

Thanks guys. Definitely 265s and definitely stock ride height. Most of the 4x4s I see in the DFW area have a similar stance. Want to say I my old tires were 265/75/16s... these new Hankooks are 70s. And man do they look small to me.

I'm going to contact Discount Tire today and see if they can help me out and get me back into a 70 series. Wish me luck!

Indeed, same as I currently have 265/70-16.

I will be bumping up the size this summer as they are too small for my taste

Looks good to me. Got my 16" rims ordered yesterday. Here is what mine will look like.
