Several others have reported great results after upgrading to the
235/60/HR16 size made by Kumho. It is the Road Ventuer APT KL51 Highway
All-Season tire with a 104H load rating and a UTQG rating of 600AA for
about $89 at TireRack.Com. They even report that it rides smoother and
quieter than the original Michelin MXV4's and there were no problems
with wheel well or fender clearance.
My plan is to switch to a set of them for my 2002 EVC when the current
225/60/R16 102H UTQG 400AA Michelin MXV4 Plus tires need replacing
since Michelin has discontinued the 102H rated tires which we need for
the vehicle. My only concern is making sure that it will still fit
under my garage door opening which is already very tight with the
original 225 tires. Hopefully the 235's will still give me enough
clearance.
Hope this helps.
