Loren has a good point Jack; the tires need to be more than 25 1/2" tall.
Here is a page from www.tirerack.com that gives you an idea of the target
sizes. Looks like 205/60 or 215/60 if you wanted to slow down the RPMs at
highway speed.

I am running 205/60HR15s and almost wish I had gone a little bit taller.

Modern tires make a big difference!
