...next to the ones I put on earlier this year :lol: I couldn't help but laugh at the size difference. It looks like I've got the donut on it.

Whoah, big difference! What size did you move from -> to?

 

[LEO_Escape]

I went from 225/70-15 (stock) to 235/75-15. Basically, it is the same dimensions (height/width) as the stock 16". I just wanted to fill the wheel wells out.

Why'd you downsize? If you're gonna keep the stock size you ought to lower it so it fills the wheel wells.

 

[LEO_Escape]

Wait, no, I upsized. That's the new tires shortly after they got delivered. I hadn't installed them yet.

nice upgrade! did the change affect the fuel consumption and any improvement in ride quality?
thanks

Sorry it took so long for a reply. Haven't had access to a computer for a while. It threw the speedometer off by +/- 3mph, however, gas mileage didn't seem to suffer. If anything, it helped. I average between 19-21 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the interstate if I behave. Not bad for 115,000 miles. Ride quality didn't suffer at all. There is slight road noise, but at 50mph or higher. Nothing bad at all.
