Does anyone know if a 225 55 r16 will fit without issue? I am running a exedra max 240 55 16 currently and I think the 225 55 is only like 2 tenths taller.

Anyone know?

Also was looking at this tire and wondered if anyone has any experience with it?



Thanks
 
The tire size you listed should fit fine. The aspect ratio of 55% on a 225 isn't going to be taller than the same aspect ratio of a wider tire, it will be shorter. That 55 is tire sidewall to width expressed as a percentage, therefore 55% of 225 is less sidewall height than 55% of 240.
