That size should fit fine. I'm running a 205/60-16 Goodyear Assurance TripleTred, and although close, it fits fine. Good luck with it, I think you'll like it.

That tire shouldn't give you any problem with fit or service.

bigsid1. I have the same tire only in 175-75R-16. I to am waiting to wear out my rear tire which should be in October or sooner. Looking forward to this tire and seeing where the sweet spot will be and how it rides for it being a light duty truck tire!

For the ulitmate tire and to end the rear tire debate for all times, I present you with this. I repost for sure, but worthy of this discussion



Oh, and it handles like a dream in the corners, they just take a half a block to turn, and last a long time too.

I'm running a 205/65 FalkenZeix512. On a 2007/1600. Wouldn't go any wider next time than a 195 though! (IMO)
