Tire Sizes

[ajseymour]

Hi everybody, I am having to get a couple of new tires for my new toy and I was wondering what the most common size is for them, the tires that are currently on it are 216/65 R16.

What does everybody run and does anybody have any problems with speedo reading and or rubbing of tires when steering or with suspension movement?

Many thanks for the help

Hi ajseymour,

215/65R16 is the standard size and shouldn't contact everything.
You can also mount 235/60 R16.

But i don't know what your Technical Inspection Agency will say to this
size

Thats a bit strange as we have just got our RX and it is running on 215/60x16, even the spare tyre is this size and that looks like the wheel and tyre have never been used. I don't know if it's because they are GOODYEAR WRANGLERS

[Alex]

215/60R16 and 215/65R16 is the standard tire size of the RX4.
