When I was still planning to use 16" rims, I was planning to use LT235/85R16 tires. The 235 mm width and 85% aspect ratio gave me the maximum tire diameter. (I plan to spend a lot of time 'off-pavement' so extra ground clearance is nice.)
Now that I've switched to 17" rims, I'll be going with LT235/80R17 tires. I'm planning to use Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor tires due to their snow rating. (I'm in Alaska, where the four seasons are June, July, August, and winter.) I'll be getting a little extra tire noise but the gaining 'off-pavement' and winter traction, which suits my needs.
P.S. I've spent enough time in northern climates (Minnesota and Alaska) to be convinced there's no such thing as an 'all season' tire ... I hear the climate differs a bit when you get farther south ...

I will be going from a 16.5 tire at 28.45 inch tall to 16 tire at 29.9 inch tall and increasing a extra 3500lbs of safety over the 16.5.

By the way to tow behind my old girl I am looking for a base plate for a tow bar for our jeep xj if anybody knows of one. Won't that be a sight '78 Mopar towing '99 Mopar down the highway.
I got into my 1976 Dodge Travelmate which has been stored with a tarp on the roof for about two months.
I noticed some moisture in the carpet between the passenger and driver seats. I have no idea how that could happen. There are no leaks in the roof above. Should I keep a window cracked open all winter long for some ventilation?
There is no moisture in the carpet from the cabin on back.
Any thoughts? Thanks,

See Picture In My Profile
I have a 1989 Dodge XPLORER RV Class B - Purchased 10/15/10 IN CASH
Fiance' purchased a Class C 2002 Dynamax Carri-go on 5/1/15 IN CASH
We've got the best of both worlds
While my rig is very different, when we has water between passenger seat and the sofa behind it, it was a leak where the awning was lag screwed into the rubber roof, The water ran down in the wall and out onto the carpet. Caught it early, and Dicor caulk fixed it. You may spray carpet w/ Lysol if it was real wet.
Love the Shorty rig in the profile!

)... Since I've got nothing better to do and they didn't normally install a way to maintain the chassis battery when the engine wasn't running back in the 70s, I'm installing Vector VEC-0080 Float/Maintainer charger. I've already got a 120 outlet run to behind the drivers seat and the VEC-0080 will fit nicely in a little area left of the seat and below the floor line. The price was right at Lowes ($19.00 +tax).

I bought one of those Vector's to charge the engine battery and I liked it, so I bought another to maintain the house battery. The second one lasted about a month. Then the first one died too after about a year and a half.
