My 17 year old son has a black 04 LX with the factory alloy wheels. The OEM tires are finally tired (75,000 miles) and I need to buy some new ones. It came with the Dunlops and while they have lasted well, I will not be buying that brand again. What I'm considering is a swap to a slightly larger size. 235/65-16. This size is within spec as far as height and just a bit wider and I think it would look nice on the vehicle. I'm looking for people that have experience with the 235/65-16 on their Elements and wonder if you might have a picture of that size installed on the car?
Thanks for your feedback.........

Hello David,

I can't help you with a picture but the size you are considering will be about 3/4" wider and only a hair taller than his OE tire. This size should help give the vehicle a little wider tracks. If we can help you with a recommendation let us know. We would love to earn your business. Feel Free to call us at 1.888.459.4080 if you would like to speak with someone over the phone.

I'm following this closely. From what i see, the 235/65 is closer in diameter to stock than the 225/70. I once had G'year 225/70's on my E. Odometer read low to about 3miles out of 100.

The 235/65 size would be interesting.
