A tire size question that's really not

[High_Order1]

... sorry.


Everybody asks about maximum tire size because they are afraid of rubbing.

I'm asking because I am concerned about rollovers.

I was researching tire size because I think the stock tires *look* too small(and yes, I know you can't believe everything you read), and I wanted a couple extra inches up and wider. Then I found a site that said that the FoMoCo people, in a quest to make the vehicle less tippy, made the tire size, profile and pressure lower.

So, it makes me wonder if the tradeoff of better ground clearance offroad is a greater chance of doing a couple of rolls coming off the Interstate a little too fast?

Opinions?

Thanks,

Tires don't cause rollovers, bad drivers do.

What size do you want to put on there?

hmmm

(rifles through notes)..


ahh, I wrote it down from the thread in the tire section. Want to say P265/75 R16. I guess I was believing the hype too much.
