What year XT?
I used to run 225/50/17 on my old MY03 XT (replacing OEM 215/60/16's)
For MY06 onwards OEM is listed as 215/55/17 (keeping the speedo reading within spec you could use 225/50/17)
For MY09 onwards OEM listed as 225/55/17 - Using 225/60/17 your speedo would read just over 3% higher. 65 profile would be over 7% higher
