All Terrain tires for 2003 Outback? QUESTION

Looking for advice on a slightly larger than stock all terrain tire for my 03 outback. The General Grabber AT2 was really the only option I found that was sold in 215/65r16, which from what I’ve read is about as big as you can go without a lift while using stock wheels. The problem is, I can’t seem to find them for sale anywhere. Local tire shop can’t get them and I can’t find them online anymore.

It’s my daily but, also my road trip/camping vehicle so, it’s ends up in some situations at times where some aggressive tread and a little height gain would be nice. I recently bought the RoadOne Cavalry AT for my van and they’ve been great. Just not sure if they’re as good as general grabber or if they’re even sold in that size.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I’d also love to give it a small lift if possible but, I’m not about to spend thousands to get there. I’ve heard of others using forester springs? Is that a horrible idea? lol

Fallen wild peak a/t trail and Toyo open country a/t3 and geolandar a/t g015 and BFF goodrich trail terrain t/a and KO2s all come in that size. My first choice would be the Toyo open country followed by the falkens.

You can get a 1.2 or 1.6 inch lift kit on Amazon for like $200. It's just strut spacers but that should let you go at least another inch taller in tires. With the lift you could probably do a 205/80R16

Awesome. Thank you. There are so many options when looking at tires it gets a bit overwhelming so, I appreciate the suggestions.

Is what I use. Compare sizes and when you find one you like, look at tires in that size. It's not a complete list but it helps
