With some effort and deflating the clam shell can be modified to hold that tire. A compressor under the back seat can inflate it when needed.

I use the Nokian WRC 215r65-16. 4 season rated, so it will probably not last as long as a summer tire, but has good traction in all conditions. Over 2200# rating per tire. Will NOT fit in the factory spare area, so I have a smaller 16" spare that does fit, with spacers to clear the brakes. Also have the big brake kit where the original 14" won't fit. Jon

I contacted the local nokian dealer and they said they couldn't get the Hakka C or the WRC tires anymore. did they stop making them? is there a comparable replacement? we've got a monster road trip planned this summer and do a fair amount of dirt road driving but don't need anything for real off roading. what are peoples fav's? >> tim
