With some effort and deflating the clam shell can be modified to hold that
tire. A compressor under the back seat can inflate it when needed.

I use the Nokian WRC 215r65-16. 4 season rated, so it will probably not last
as long as a summer tire, but has good traction in all conditions.
Over 2200# rating per tire. Will NOT fit in the factory spare area, so I
have a smaller 16" spare that does fit, with spacers to clear the brakes.
Also have the big brake kit where the original 14" won't fit.

replacements. correct me if i'm wrong but aren't the Hakka C 8 plys? I
contacted the local nokian dealer and they said they couldn't get the Hakka
C or the WRC tires anymore. did they stop making them? is there a comparable
replacement? we've got a monster road trip planned this summer and do a fair
amount of dirt road driving but don't need anything for real off roading.
what are peoples fav's?
