What are the correct tire size for 1999 mercury cougar?
It depends on what wheels your cougar came with. If you have the 15 inch, six spoke fan blade wheels, you need 205/60 tires, if you have the 16 inch, sport package wheels, you need the harder to find, 215/50 tires. 17 inch wheels were not available in '99 to the best of my knowledge. If you have trouble finding the 215/50/16 tires, both the more common 225/50 tires, and the 215/55 tires can be used without much problem.
Can you use 215-65-R16 tires instead of 205-70-R15 tires?
NO, the last digits (R15 and R16) refer to the wheel (rim) size. If you change wheels you can install the 16" tires. A much better swap would be to install 205/65-16. The parameters except width will be almost identical to the 205/70-15 tire/wheel combination. Your speedometer will read 59.5 at a true 60 mph.
Will 215 60r 16 tires replace 215 65r 16 tires?
