Tires: 2005 AWD Vue tire options, tire purchase, tire options

Question
Hi Barry,

Sorry I didn't mention my tire size before, but it's 235/60/17. I was wondering if I could go a little taller or wider in my next tire purchase.  We live where there is alot of snow in the winter and I want a good all around tire, if thats possible.  The OEM Desert Duellers aren't all that great.

Thanks again.
Sandra

Answer
Sandra,

There is likely room to go up one size, maybe 2.

That means you could do a 245 or a 65 or if you like risks - a 255 or a 70 or a 245 and a 65.

But be aware all 4 tires have to be the same - you have an AWD and if you don't, the drivetrain will be ruined.  Many $$$.
