I've got 205/65/R15s (stock size) now, and I'm aware of the very slight speed reading difference I would get changing to 215/60/R16 (2.6% difference), but it would appear that I'm actually getting a eading slightly under what I am actually doing at the moment anyway, so it might make the reading more accurate!
Anyhoo... the question is, is there any reason NOT to go for these? eg., fuel economy will suffer due to more torque being required (or something like that), diameter too large to clear guards (currently stock height, possibly lowering maybe 2"), etc., etc?
I need new tyres, so have been looking at upgrading to 16" or greater, depending on what rims and tyres I can find in a low enough price range.
