Can you replace a 205 65R 16 tire with a 205 60R 16 tire?
Yes, you can
Can you replace a 205 50R16 tire with a 205 60R16 tire?
Yes , you can replace a 205 50r 16 with a 205 60 r 216. You must replace in pairs, not a single tire.
Can you replace a 205 55R16 tire with a 215 60R16 tire?
NO, this would be a very bad swap. Your speedometer would read 57 mph at a true 60 mph, and handling, ride, steering, traction, power, and mpg would be adversely effected. A 195/60-16 would be an acceptable swap.
How much taller is a 215 tire vs a 205?
Depends on the aspect ratio of the tire. For instance a 215/70-16 and a 205/75-16 are almost the exact same diameter with the 205 tire being 1/4" larger in diameter because it has a larger aspect ratio. For all practical purposes they are the same height. I would have to know the aspect ratio of both tires to answer the question.
205 55r 16 tires vs 215 55r16?
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 replace tire size 215 60 R16 with 205 65 R16 for your Nissan altima 2007?
Altima 2004 used 205/65 R 16. From there on for the same car the tires are 215/60 R 16.There is -1.34 diffrent in diameter. So you could get a diffrent on speedometer reading but it will be ok. You will be moving at a lower speed than was the speedometer said.
Can you replace a 215 70R16 tire with a 215 65R16 tire?
Yes, you can but your speedometer will be 1.8 mph to fast. A much better swap would be 225/65-16.
I have the chance of a spare wheel having a 205 55 16 tire but will a 215 60 16 tire fit that wheel to match the others on my car in case I get a puncture the response below does not answer my query?
Tires on the same axle should match if all 4 are not the same. The 215s are an inch taller (or thereabouts) than the 205's. the taller ones should go on back if you have 2. However, this does not answer the question raised as to whether a 215 60 16 tire will fit on the same wheel that currently has a 205 55 16 tire ! Hopefully someone knows the answer.
Can you replace 205 80 16 with 235 85 16 tires?
NO, that is a very bad swap. The 235 tire will be 2.81" too tall. Your speedometer will show 54.6 at an actual 60 mph. A 215/75-16 is an excellent swap and a 225/70-16 is acceptable.
Will 245 75 16 tire replace 215 85 16 tire?
That is quite a bit wider, make sure there is clearance when steering is on full lock.
What size 15inch tire and rim can replace 215-60r 16 tire?
235/60-15 or 215/65-15 are both acceptable swaps. I would go with the 215/65 as you may have clearance issues with the 235 series tire.
Can you replace 205-55-16 tire with 195-50-16 tire?
No, this is an unacceptable swap. If you wish to go to a 50 series tire you should install 225/50-16 which is and excellent swap.
