+1 . When I was doing research on my one-size-up from stock, I considered two-sizes-up from stock. For the tire I was looking at, this is what I saw :
Code:
OEM = 185/65R15 = 17 lbs.
1-Up from stock = 195/65R15 = 18 lbs. = 5.9% heavier than OEM (my choice)
2-Up from stock = 205/65R15 = 21 lbs. = 23.5% heavier than OEM
