} A 7" rim has a max tire size of 235.

The Dunlop web page says their GT Qualifier 245/60-15 fits a 7" rim.
It's a little lower than stock, so it will lower the gearing slightly,
but it should handle much better and stick quite a bit better than the
stock 235. Also a 60 series tire has a wider tread width than an equal
width (as labeled on the sidewall) 70 series tire.
