Replaced the OEM 235/80R16 LRE with 235/85R16 LRG
How much taller are the 85R's? I want to do the same thing. What brand did you go with?
The specs show the 85s are about 3/4 inch taller. After installing them the distance between the tires was the same. Went with Geostars from Les Schwab. Found no complaints online about them other than they are made in China.
So sorry I did not specify WHICH Geostar I purchased. And it is not the GS716. And I suppose that the CR article means that ALL Geostar tires are of poor quality. I guess the problems with Goodyear ST tires means that all GY tires are failures waiting to happen. Sure am glad you have the time to research it though!
