I got a 99 suburban currently has 285/75/16's on it but I want wider and slightly taller tires...what should I go with? Not trying to break the bank but gotta get new tires before winter hits.
To answer both questions. Why because its got a 2 inch lift on it and it looks silly with the tires it has on there right now. Yes they will fit and not rub thanks to the lift on it. The taller is not a big deal but really want something slightly wider.Looking at everything from 295-325/75/16's.
If they offer the size, go with 295/75/16. This will be slightly wider and slightly taller.
Dont go more than 10mm wider unless you know the rim can handle it.
If you're not going through bottomless mud pits, a 235/85-16 tire would work much better in all conditions for the suburban. It will do better in snow and will be easier on steering.
