I run 225/60/16's (108 rating I think) on mine and it did ok with the 130hp
Zetec even before the turbo was installed. Should have maybe gone to a 215
to keep them closer to the stock size, but it turned out fine.
Think they are about 26 1/2" if I remember right.

Ya, I wasn't suggesting that tire, that size for you at all. Search around
that site and you may find a tire diameter/mile-rotation more in
keeping with your own circumstances. I just wanted something good for
combined winter and off-roading.

Hankook and Nokian are very hard to beat.
