My experience with Greenbriers is that they drive much better with lower
profile tires.  It helps get rid of the spooky feeling tall sidewall tires
have on highway speed curved bridges.  They handle much better overall.
I've got 245/50/16s on 8" rims on mine.  The diameter was very close to
stock and the speedo is spot on at 60 mph.
