Bill,

I changed the Roadhaus over to 15" wheels before the trip.

Currently running Michelin LTX M&S 215/75R15 tires.

Comments:

- Lost 5-10% engine performance on going to a larger diameter tire
- Speedo error approx 3 MPH at 65-70.
- 215/75R15 is the largest tire that will go in a MODIFIED" spare tire
carrier.

BTW  ... very happy with the LTX tires. 28k miles and going strong.

Rain and muck traction has been good and noise level very low.

all roads lead to adventure,
