That's unusual. TireRack normally won't recommend a tire that is taller than stock for several reasons. I take it the person you talked to wasn't Dexter or Luke. I had a n00b sell me some tires once that Dexter told me they shouldn't have. Shhh....

I'm using those same tires in a 235/40 size. They are great and wear really well for r-compound. That is why I was asking as I could get that size for just $14 more each.
