will a 185 65 15 fit stock xB setup ?? stock is 185 60 15 ??
hey guys,
Im looking at getting some better tires for the long boston winter... and there seems to be alot more options for tires in a 185 65 vs the 185 60 that the xB comes with stock
question is
will i safely be able to run the 185 65 on a stock xB .. suspension wise... just want to make sure there wont be any rubbing issues
thanx

Since Toyota fits the 165/65R15 on Japanese bBs, it seems that this is actually the tire for which this vehicle was originally designed. The 60 series tires came along later!
