Guys,

Do you know what the diameter and width are (in inches) of the Toyo Proxes A05 215-55-16 that are on 2001 GXEs?

Thanks.

 

Most 215-55-16 tires are 25.3 or 25.4 inches in diameter. I have the Proxes AO5s on my Max GLE and have been looking for replacements now after 30,000 miles that would give me a bit larger diameter and wider tire. I am planning to try 225-55-16's (ContiExtreme Contacts) which are about 25.8 inches in diameter and 9.2 inches wide. Apparently, we are required to stay within + or - 3.0 % diameter so as to ensure no problems arise with the pre-programmed RPMs for the ABS in the on-board computer system. A 215-55-15 rotates at about 821 rpms and a 225-55-16 rotates at 805 rpms. I wanted to go to a 235-50-16 (819 rpms) but the rims are only 6.5 inches wide and that would be a fairly narrow rim for such a wide tire which may not do anything positive for tire life or performance.
