I just purchased a '96 Chrysler Town & Country minivan. The
tires are Patriot Triathalon II Touring A/S size 8F x 257
P225/60R1697S. Orig equipment tires are listed on the door
data plate as P215/65R15. Chrysler says the vehicle was
manufactured with 16" wheels, and the 15" means a "minimum"
wheel size. They say they do not recommend the wider tire
as it could affect the odometer, driveability, etc. I find
the ride somewhat on the noisy side. Any ideas?
