If you ever want to go with heavy all terrain tires, 15's will give you a
better selection. I recently got rid of the flat-prone highway tires on my
gowesty 16's and put on Hankook RF10's in 225/70r16 (basically their version
of the BFG T/A KO). The 225/70 is about the smallest you can find in 16 and
it requires significant removal of metal to keep from slicing the tire up on
the front fender edges.
