Captain Neon Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 http://www.coopertires.com/html/products/tires_passenger.aspx?page=lifeliner_gls&search=bySize&twtd=215&artw=65&rd=16 I've got similar tyres on the wife's Acclaim. 215/65R16 is a pretty common automobile tyre size nowadays. I'm partial to Cooper as they are American-made, and have them on three of my five vehicles. You may be able to find something cheaper in another brand. Quote
Powerhouse Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Thanks guys.. so I should look for 215/75R16? Quote
Captain Neon Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 A 235/70R16 will still give a passenger car tyre and sit the highest. I just don't know if you will have some tyre rub on your fenders. I wouldn't go any wider than a 235. A 215 is closer to the width our rims. A quick primer on tyre sizing. The first number is the width, second number is aspect ratio (height), and the third number is wheel diameter. Larger first number means it has a wider tread, larger second number means that the sidewall is taller, and R16 means it is for 16" rims. Any bigger than a 235/70R16 and you are looking at light-duty truck tyres. Quote
