tires that come on new avalon are 215-55-17 size. There is a very small selection of tires at tire rack in this size. Will size 225-55-17 fit ok on the new avalon. I know it will only slightly affect the gear ratio and speedometer. Will this slightly larger tire adversely affect traction control etc. Thanks. This is a great newsgroup.

As long as all four tires are the same size, there will not be any affect on ABS or traction control.
I did check with tire rack. They list 17,18, and 19 inch diameter wheels but are only showing 215 width. I'm trying to find out if you can use a wider width tire such as 225 since there is a larger selection of tires available in the wider width.
Thanks

On Tire Rack's web site, go to the "shopping tools" link, then "tire decision guide" link. It shows 225/60-16 as a size that fits on a 2005 Avalon XL. The additional 10 mm width should not affect fit. Assuming zero offset on the wheels, that's only 5 mm on each side.
