It is time to get rid of the CRAP tires that our cars come with. I am looking at going larger in size as I do a lot of highway drives. What size can I use and still clear the undercarraige? The 255 65 16 are very temping. It would give the car a great look and is well within the 10% size window they like for the computers. Odometer and spedo would be a little off but I could live with that.

Here is the write up no the tire..........
The Ranger TSE is AVON Tyres'' Highway All-Season light truck tire developed for the drivers of sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks and vans to blend light truck tire capability with passenger tire comfort. The attractively priced Ranger TSE is designed primarily for on-road use and provides predictable handling and year-round traction on dry and wet roads, as well as in light snow.
On the outside, the Ranger TSE radials feature an all-season tread compound molded into a symmetric tread design that uses notched shoulders, independent intermediate tread blocks and a continuous center rib to blend handling, foul weather traction and straight line tracking. Wide circumferential grooves provide hydroplaning resistance while lateral grooves and multiple sipes in each tread block provide the biting edges needed to enhance wet road and light snow traction. On the inside, twin steel belts and polyester cord body combine the necessary strength with a comfortable ride.
