[Shotimes] 225-60-16 OK?

[Dave Kegel]

Harry,

A 225/55 isn't really "lower profile" in that the sidewall height is
just about the same as the 215/60.  A 225/60 looks like a dune buggy
tire by comparison. They're very tall.

Just my $.02

Dave

I need to replace tires on my 1995 MTX.  I like the Potenza RE750s it
had, 
though the 215-60-16s are no longer availabe in that size, at least from

TireRack. They do have that tire in 225-60-16. I'm wondering if there
would 
be any problems either with clearance or fit on the OEM slicer?  I
realize 
there might be some spedo error and less revs per mile, but that's OK.
I 
know 225-55-16 would fit OK, but I'm not interested in going to lower 
profile.

Thoughts on alternative tires welcome.

Harry
