I am looking for new tires for the Magnum RT rear wheel drive. I need all season tires. What are the fattest size I can run on stock rims? What is the "hot" tire in our size for all season use?
There does not seem to be too many choices!

 

Do some checking, although I believe the largest size is 265/45, although some have put larger on the rear.

I thought for snow, a 'thinner' tire was better?

 

This is side by side with stock 225 60's and 245 55's from

Check the different sizes on the site. Don't go too overboard on size.
