Default Looking for tire size advice: 2017 CX5GT AWD

On the market for new SUV grade tires for 2017 CX5GT. Consumer Reports suggest Michelin Defender2 as the best All Season (M+S) option (I've been very satisfied going with CR tire suggestions over the years). Want I'm wondering is if there's a consensus on an ideal size stock/over/under width/height. I'm considering going a bit higher to gain a little more ground clearance.

If yours has the 225/55/19 next taller would be 225/65/19. This would add a little error to the speedometer. Here's a handy Calculator to compare sizes and results.

FYI: you have two threads going on this same subject.
