Annie,

Just a thought about your future tire-buy, wheel size change:
You can maintain the stock wheel/tire diameter so you don't
lose engine performance, which can happen if you go to larger
diameter. You can get very good tires using something like
Nokian Hakkapeliitta CS or their "C" series tires in a 60 or 65
aspect ratio tire while getting a C or D rated tire. Nokian is not
the only tire but it's a very good one and they come in 15" and
16". By the way, you will love the huge difference in stability
and general ride that going to the larger rims and tires makes.
Completely changes the feel of the vehicle.
