anyone with 225/65/16 tires?

[coolcat5774]

Im just wondering if anyone has 225/65/16 tires on there AWD rogue? When I went to continental, I put in my vehicle and it came up with this size. I already did the tire size calculator to see the difference which is nothing basically, but just curious who has this size. Wanting to know how it handles and brakes..just basically everything. Does it feel more sporty, is it better or worse in the corning. I sometime get aggressive when I drive, short fuse for dumb people on the road. So...sometime I use the freeway as a slalom course...rare..but I have. I still have the original conti 4x4 tires that are at 5/32nds...so just doing tire research. Thank you.

Generally speaking wider tires increase grip, but the difference is very small. Tire construction and rubber compound will have a bigger impact on performance than just going 'wider'

Example: A sports car type 'summer' tire will be stiffer (sportier) and have a softer (more grip) rubber compound than and all season tire of the indentical size.

I would suggest reading up on the reviews at TireRack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/reviews/M ... eyComments.

Ive been on tire rack for 2 weeks. Ive read reviews on tires, reading about different class tire, why I should or shouldnt go down a tire rating. Ive done all that. Im looking for real world answers from some rogue owners who have put the 225/65/16 on their vehicle to get an idea on how they handle. So it seems to me either A: a lot of AWD drive owners swapped out the 16's for a larger size or B: they are keeping the same size that came with the vehicle.
