Ok, I know that the largest tire (thanks to ) that will fit a Cherokee is a 225/75 R15 which by my calculations is 28.87" in diameter less tread? I looked at www.tirerack.com and their specs for various 225/75 R15 tires for the diameter is 29.0 I have a 16 x 8 rim (5.375 Back Spacing / Stock cherokee is 5.25) with 235/70 R16 (Pirelli Scorpion S/T) (thus the diameter with my calculations is 28.95". With a look at www.tirerack again their specs for various 235/70 R16 tires for the diameter is 29.1 to 29.3.. Well the tire shop said those tires would not fit without rubbing but I already have that size of tire I was just looking at getting new tires either the Dunlop Radial Mud Rover or the Dunlop Radial Rover RVXT with a more aggressive tread. Do these tires have to agressive tread pattern/tread depth that they would cause me problems. Or when suggest that the 225/75 R15 fits without rubbing does that assume the most aggressive tread pattern/depth. Thanks
