>Good Morning, Has anyone installed 235-75R15 tires on their Syncro (14")?
>Jeff.

Not me but the shop owner who has worked on my van. I've driven in his van.
He has BFG AT TA's 235/75-15. They're 29" tall (dia) and rub a little on the
back of the front wheel well on bumps, turning going into driveways. Not too
bad but does rub. Probably not the best for offroading. Not much room for
snow or mud build-up.

I used to have 225/70-16's on my van. 28.4" tall and they also rubbed in
that same way.

I now have 215/65-16's and they don't rub under any conditions. 27" tall.
