We have to get 4 new tires for the 96 Outback soon and I thought I would like to try a 235-60-15 this time. It is the same height and radius as the 205-70-15 that is the stock tire. Anyone see a problem with this size and width?

 

Thanks, Mark

I would be concerned about the width rubbing on the shock tower or perch. Heighth would prolly be okay.

 

FYI I have the same Outback as you. I went with 215X70X15 size tire. It adds maybe close to an inch of lift. I like the result. No problems with any rub.

Thanks Rooster, still have not made my mind up. We wanted to put a bit more tread on the ground with the 60's. I have a set of Hancooks that are 60 series snowtires on it at the moment and no rub, but they are shorter also, I can't remember the size at the moment. The grip on the road is incredible but noisy, they are snow tires after all. Maybe I should look into a 65 series.
