Just for reference, here is a pretty good calculator...

4lo.com/calc/gearmetric.htm

Does a 285/65R17 sound about right? Also, you might want to plug any numbers into DiscountTireDirect.com and see if they are even "valid" sizes... most tires are made in the full range of metric sizes.

UPS is a day or two behind due to the weather and not to mention the airport was closed for a few days. you will hear your doorbell ring tomorrow i bet. unless the snow tonight makes them close down again
