Don't go for that tyre - Way too big, Not only for that rim width but also the rolling diameter.

In physical height, standing your current tyre side by side with the one you are considering, the new one will actually be 65mm taller.

The correct tyre for the model is actually a 225/65/17

You can mix tyre sizes but only minor differences eg 215/65/17 on front and 225/65/17 on the rear.

I wouldn't use different profile sizes at all

As it is an awd, you will damage your centre diff if you have different size tyres, if your changing it, you need to change all including spare... Good luck

Unfortunately, these tyres are expensive. I replaced 2 tyres just before Easter. In hindsight, I should have shopped around. But I got it changed at Bob Jane as it is the closest to where I work. I paid $325 a tyre for Michelin Energy LX4 225/65/R17. The original price they quoted was $360.

They also offered me on that size a Kumho for $270 (he said he could do a deal for about $250) and Bridgestone Dueller for $360 (before haggling). I also saw Yokohama tyres for that size advertised for $289.

Not sure if I got a decent deal or got ripped off. But I was in a hurry as I was driving away over a 1000ks for Easter and two tyres were nearly bald.
