foxgap Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 We have to get 4 new tires for the 96 Outback soon and I thought I would like to try a 235-60-15 this time. It is the same height and radius as the 205-70-15 that is the stock tire. Anyone see a problem with this size and width? Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I would be concerned about the width rubbing on the shock tower or perch. Heighth would prolly be okay. FYI I have the same Outback as you. I went with 215X70X15 size tire. It adds maybe close to an inch of lift. I like the result. No problems with any rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxgap Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks Rooster, still have not made my mind up. We wanted to put a bit more tread on the ground with the 60's. I have a set of Hancooks that are 60 series snowtires on it at the moment and no rub, but they are shorter also, I can't remember the size at the moment. The grip on the road is incredible but noisy, they are snow tires after all. Maybe I should look into a 65 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
