Can they? Yes. Should you substitute with this size? No. The 215/70 tires will be 1.7" larger, (6.34%) in diameter and your speedometer will read 56.1 at a true 60 mph. You should never go over or under 3% of the OEM size. If you want to go with a 70 series tire then go with a 185/70-15 which is only .04 " larger in diameter. My advice is to stick with the OEM size for overall good handling, stopping, mileage, tread wear, and ride.
