Switching from 255/70-16 to 265/70-16 will cause your speedometer to show 58.9 mph at a true 60 mph or a difference of 1.1 mph.

A better switch would be from 255/70-16 to 265/65-16. Your speedometer will be off .9 mph too slow.

Can a 255 70 R16 tire be replaced with a 265 75 R16 on a 1999 Ford Expedition?

Absolutely not. You will increase the diameter of the tire/wheel from 30.1" to 31.6". This 1.5" difference will cause your speedometer to be way off. This will also adversely effect the handling and mileage of your Ford. The closest thing to OEM you can go is 265/65-16 which will still be .5" off. Stick with the OEM size.
