Can I fit these tyres to my Forester?

Following your recommendation I bought a replacement Subaru Forester 06 - very happy thanks!

I need to replace the tyres and you have previously recommended Pirelli Scorpion STRs. They only come in 215/65/R16 whereas the factory Geolanders are 215/60/R16.

Is it all right to get the bigger size?

Should be ok. But your speedo will either become accurate or will under-read slightly, so watch your speed.
