I went with 215/85r16 on my stock rims. I believe this is the tallest tire you can go with that does not rub. The slightly narrower tire allows it to go taller and still turn without rubbing. Stock 225/75r16 Width 8.85" Rim Dia 16" Rim With 6"-7" Overall Dia 29.28" 215/85r16 Width 8.46" Rim Dia 16" Rim With 5.5"-7" Overall Dia 30.38" |

I'm considering some DuraTracs as they seem to be good on/off-road and still capable in snow. I am toying with the idea of 215/85/16 or 235/75/16 for my 06 CRD. |
