Theory is great but the real world is a totally different thing.
He obviously knows more than me on the subject so I'll just go with him - on a perfect surface, at the right temperature, with a tyre surface making perfect contact everything he says is surely spot on.
Types, surfaces, temperature and everything else goes completely out in reality and just comes down to picking something sensible IMO. Not the perfect theoretically best thing.
In this case I'd say a good set of A/T tyres on a Prado will get you most places whether they're on 6.5" or 7.5" rims.
