tire size
I'm currently running Good Year Tracker 2 135/70/16 on my 07 FEH AWD. however, they are on their last legs and will need to be replaced soon.
I want to try a slightly larger tire; im thinking somthing along the lines of an A/T 135/75/16 to give a bit more ground clearence.
Will this cause any major issues with the FEH?
I understand that it may effect my fuel economy, but im willing to sacrifice a small amount of MPG for the increse in vehicle flexibility.
I'm more worried about the eCVT having issues with the effect of a larger gear ratio.
Does anyone have any insight?

Re: tire size
The OEM stock tire size is 235/70/16. Changing to 235/75/16 isn't going to obtain any "significant" increase in ground clearance. What is the purpose of needing additional height?

Re: tire size
I live in the foot hills of the cascades near Seattle and i find myself on sketchy mountain roads quite often. Also i have to drive through 12+ inches of snow all through the winter season. im not having any major issues with snow driving yet but a bit more clearence should help.
