      Heres a few more recent pictures, obviously I haven't cleaned/washed the car in quite awhile and the engine is also in need of some cleaning.

            I'm in need of new tires again, I drive too much. Stock tire size is 215/75/R15 I believe. I'm looking to get a slightly larger diameter tire mostly for mileage, obviously if I get bigger around I need a wider tire as well. What size should I look at that will clear the front suspension as well without rubbing.

            Thanks

                  Do not increase you tire diameter if you want better gas milage. The engine just has to work harder to get to cruising speed(reduced overall gearing). Not to mention your speedometer will be out of whack, and the cops will not take any excuses.

                        Would 225/70/5 mess up the speedo or anything?

                          I'm not too worried about messing the speedometer up, I can replace the gear or just figure it in my head. The reason I want to go bigger is because I drive a lot of highway miles and the larger tire should help reduce wear on the rolling stock.

                          Scott, police size, that would be about what, half an inch taller, right?

                          And 86Vicky, going between police size and civilian size would only adjust speed marginally.

                          I guess I was more concerned with fit, both height and width. Can I still use my tire chains if I go bigger kind of thing
