Can you? Yes, you can but I would not recommend it. By doing this you will decrease the diameter of the tire/wheel by 1". This will cause your speedometer read 2.3 mph too fast at 60 mph. Your engine will also turn 32 rpm's more at 60 mph, which will cause your vehicle to use more fuel and get less mpg. If you want to change the size to a narrower tire then go with a 195/65-15 which would be almost the same diameter. Or if you wish to go with a wider tire then a 225/55-15 will work well.
Yes, you can.
Lots of vehicles use this size tire.
Read the tire placard on your door jam or the owners manual.
The stock wheels are 15" by 6" with P195/65 R15 tires.
At 60 mph the speedometer will read 58.1 mph.
The specs call for an original tire of P195-60-R15, but mine has 14" tires. Odd size of lug nuts as well.
can i replace a p255/60 r15 with a p215/70 r15
They would be shorter and that would affect speedometer accuracy.They would be shorter and that would affect speedometer accuracy.
The P215 / 70 / R15 is 26.9 inches in diameter and the section width is 8.5 inches The P225 / 70 / R15 is 27.4 inches in diameter and the section width is 8.9 inches
Two sizes were used, P195/65-R15 & P195/70-R14
P195 r15
Yes you can. The first number on the tire size is big the tire is from bead to bead. Your car will sit just a bit lower and you speedometer will read a little fast.
