FYI If you plan on getting them do it now. Local tire shops are out of stock.

I have noticed the Patriot comes with a very odd size tire, I am looking for winter tires and my tire dealer looks at me as if I have 2 heads when I tell them the size. I am wondering if there is a viable replacement size?

My cousin had to order his tires for his Toyota because the tire shop was out.

For the 16's 215/70/16 or 215/65/16 would work. There are many tires in these sizes.

no worries---BFG is bringing out the new KM2 in 2 phases--the first being the big truck tires and then by next sept the regular sizes are scheduled to be released.

The km2 look a little bit meatier to me as well

i just order Winter tires today. Dunlop is the only company in north america that has this size. It seems to be popular in Europe. See this link
