If you don't off road at all, I'd recommend only going up in size 1 to 2 sizes. This would take you to either a P215/75/15 or a P225/75/15. You could go as high as a P235/75/15, but like tlab said you could get some minor rubbing in the rear after hitting a bump at highway speed. New after market shocks would take care of this.

KYB makes some direct replacements that are a little firmer than stock.

As far as tires go, the Michelin LTX M/S are awesome street tires that handle great in the snow and ice. They do OK on hard packed dirt and gravel roads, but are just about the best riding tire you can get.

As you go up in tire size youÆll notice your mileage going down a bit, but this is because your speedometer or odometer is now off. Unfortunately there is nothing available to recalibrate the speedometer and you have to just do the math in your head.

Old revolutions per mile / new revolutions per mile * the speedometer or odometer reading.

This also works for recalibrating your speed so you don't get a ticket. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
