      I'd call them and see what they can order. I think their website lists the in stock tires only

          have them look into a couple sizes bigger, taller a bit wider and you'll have more options and tread design

              harder tires, is usually more road noise. Just keep them balanced and rotated you can make them last, I took my set of tires almost 87k

                  I can't see the speedo being that far off. Maybe a couple mph?

                  i think I put Kelley chargers on my Lincoln and they were great and only cost around $330

                    its maybe a 1/2 in at the high point of the list, not like your going switch to a 22 inch wheel or anything like that much of a difference. So you'll be fine

                        235/60/16

                        It will be slightly wider and a hair taller. Your speedo would read about 1 mph slow at 60mph
