Replacing 16 " Tires Different from Stock

[jclarke]

235/65r16 is what my AWD 2009 Torrent came with stock and I like to change to 235/70r/16. I know its a taller tire and speedometer is affected but I like to know how it will handle bumps and potholes on the road. Will it be harder on suspension? Should I stay with factory stock size?

the stock tire is 28" and the other set is 29". This will effect the speedometer by about 2 mph and has nothing to do with harness of suspension.

Thanks for your reply. I know its only 1 inch in difference but would it be possible for tire to come off rim if not right size?

The rim size does not change, both tires you have listed are for 16 inch wheels you can only put a 16 in tire on a 16 in rim. the other two sizes that are changed are height and width.
