I believe I've seen people getting away with 30.5" of rolling diameter without rubbing but search around to be sure.
Yes I've researched the max total diameter these can handle. This tire comes in a 255/55-19 which has a 30" rolling diameter. 1" larger than stock. As far as snow performance, there are A/T tires with the 3 peak stamp but that is only because they decided to put the tire through the testing. However, that test isn't the be all end all when it comes to snow performance. I have read a few reviews that discuss the snow performance of these tires and some mention that they are close the BF Goodrich All Terrain K02 which all other A/T tires are ranked against. I'm more concerned with fuel consumption and road noise.
