Why such a big size difference for 16 vs. 17 in oem tire sizes?
Does anyone know why there is a difference in tire size between the 2009 caravan se for 16 in and 17 in tire sizes. The oem tire size for 16 in steels are 225/65/16 but the oem tire size for the optional 17 in rims ( which I have ) are 225/65/17. According to the tire size calculator the the size is off by 3.51 percent. Same van same motor both oem tire sizes. Which one is correct? I can’t figure out why chrysler would use two different tire sizes that are off by so much. I am looking to buy winter tires and trying to figure this out. thanks 09 Grand Caravan 25th anniversary 96 Acura Integra GS-R 84 toyota corolla ae86 87 toyota corolla ae86 Reply With Quote Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements Chrysler Minivan Forums Advertisements GA_googleFillSlot(“ChryslerMinivan_net_300x250_Postbit_AUTO_Forum”); 12-07-2009 09:30 AM #2 Hokiefyd View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries Visit Homepage View Articles Certified Minivan Freak Join Date Jan 2005 Location Fayettevil
