Default Alternate tire sizes for an 09 Caravan?

I have unpopular size tires on an 09 Grand Caravan. Chrysler calls for a 225-65-16 and it is a hard to find size. Where I live Walmart can't supply it. I started asking around for info on an alternate size that would work. I understand with high tech suspensions and computers you don't want to go too far astray, but.....I'm thinking a more popular size is going to be less expensive.
Anyone have info on what sizes would work and not cause any problems?

Any Dodge dealership will have 225-65-16 in stock. You can also try Tirerack. They usually have a good selection. Their prices start $94 a tire.

You can also go with 17 rims 225/65-17. You may have a better luck finding this size. The dealership can adjust your speedometer if you go with the 17s.

Thanks. I don't have easy access to Tire Rack [I am in Canada] and the Dodge dealership has kinda high prices. WalMart has a Firestone that will do but not in my size. They do have a 235 65 16 that would be approx 1/2 inch greater in diameter. Is that OK?

The 235 65 16 should work. Just keep in mind that when your speedometer reads 70 mph, you're traveling at 68.72 mph.
