Web Mister,

I will run this "exact" info past my information source...and see if they have any great recommendations for you.

Is this a brand new van???
And is this tire size recommended as an alternative in the owners manual??

My source tells me, that on new vehicles...the computer systems in the car are set up to handle the manufacturers suggested tire size. The computers are set up to operate based on the RPM's of that size tire. Changing the size of the tire changes the RPM's. I am not sure exactly what this does.....but my sources tell me that these changes can void warranties. I will get more details for you...

PS, the greater concern/risk is with under inflated tires as opposed to over inflated tires.
