My Suzuki XL-7 (2007) is in desperate need of new tires. Currently has the factory Bridgestone 235/60-17 which are a strange size and not many good tires can be found. Looking at the Cooper Discoverer CTS 245/65-17 (high Consumer Reports rating) but I'm wondering if they'll rub the wheel wells??
Any suggestions on a good tire for my beloved Suzuki?
245/65R17 is a much more popular size however it is generally(tire sizes are not uniform) about 1 to 1.5 inches bigger in diameter & about a half inch wider. This means you will need about an inch more clearance when the front wheels are max turned, left or right. Also allow for suspension bounce. As far as type of tire: first decide on your priorities (ie..max traction, smooth ride) & then the choice will be easy
