i have 02 es300 stock 16" rims, thinking about getting me a snow tire which i found used one for cheap. now the size is 235-60-16. i know that stock sizes are 215-60-16. now i don't know much about tires. will i notice anything by putting 235-60-16s? gas milage? noise? handling?

thanks,
Tae

235s are aweful wide for a snow tire and a 235 is going to hit the inside of the rear fenders when you hit bumps with adults in the back. My 18" 235s did, but the offsets of the 18 rim may have been slightly different than the stock 16 rims.

thanks steviej, so you wouldn't recommend it? did that happen to your older es? or to your new gs? any other issues i might have?
