Best Answer

The only difference is that 215 tires are taller.

The first number in the name (215) indicates the tire sidewall height, the second part (55) is the tire tread width, the third part (r) shows that the tire is a radial tire, and the fourth part (16) indicates the rim size.

Can you use 205 55r 16 tires in place of 205 50r 16 tires?

You can but your speedometer will be off. The 205/50-16 has a diameter of 24.1 " and the 205/55-16 has a diameter of 24.9". That is a difference of .8". I suggest you stick with the OEM size. Click the link to see what effect different sizes will have.

Yes, it should - but it may not fit in your wheel wells, and will definitely throw off your odometer and speedometer as well.


Will 215 65 r 16 tires replace 215 55r 16 tires?

The second number in those sizes is the aspect ratio. You would be changing overall height. The 215/65 will be 1.7 inches taller in overall diameter. Depending on vehicle and many other factors I cant tell you whether it would be acceptable on your vehicle or not. It is over the 3% max diameter change recommended by most manufactures.

If you are asking what is a good replacement for this size then a 175/60-15 will work just fine. A 215/50-15 will also work.
