Also if you had the budget for it, going with a lower profile tire on a
bigger rim and maintaining the original outside diameter would sounds like
promising solution too.

The most interesting thing to me about Chris's experience is fixing a
trailering problem by changing the tires on the tow vehicle, something
I don't recall hearing about before. Each of the changes he made...

From an article about the Forester in our newspaper:

"On the road, the ride is very good, and handling is exceptionally
nimble though the 16-inch all-season radials moan and and scream when
you take a corner faster than they'd like, which is anythingg over
about 20 MPH. With different tires, the Forester XT would make a great
daily driver."

So, sounds like they went for the 'bottom line' on the tires.
