Question 2002 Caravan -- TIRE SIZE -- Alternative Sizes?

Vehicle: 2002 Dodge Caravan SE (3.3L V6, Automatic)

The existing tires are fairly worn out, all 4. The size is 215/70/R15 97S M+S, Uniroyal Tigerpaw. Despite being all season they were fabulous for all weather conditions.

I am aware of the mandatory 15" rim diameter but what is the range of size tires i can purchase for this vehicle greater than what i currently have installed? The used tire retailer has this exact size in store but only 2 tires. I want to replace all 4 so need different sizes from my normal.

Thanks.

I would stay with the OE size. Smaller and you loose ground clearance. Taller and you lose MPG and your brakes, CV joints, and tranny take more punishment. But to each his own.

If you were to go new I would suggest the Michelin Defender. Great tire and a 90K warranty.
