Can Goodyear's Fortera 235/70/16 SUV tires fit the 2001 RX300?
I'm concerend about the rear tires coming in contact with the
rear strut. With OEM tire(225/70/16), there is about 3/8" to 1/4"
of clerance.

Many members have used Michelin CrossTerrain in 235/70/16
without rubbing problems... Is it safe to assume that the
Goodyear Fortera 235/70/16 will also be fine?

Also, has anyone actually used these tires? If so, how do you
like them?

Thanks for your help!

If I order these Fortera 235/70/16 tires from the Tire Rack
and the rears don't fit, can I get a refund? (tire mouted on wheel
and put on the vehicle, without touching the ground)
