Will Changing the size of the tire profile affect the ride height of the car?
Yes. A wider tire of the same size as in going from a 205/70-15 to a 205/60-15 will lower the ride height. Got to a 205/75-15 and you raise the ride height.
What do the numbers mean on a car tire?
for instance 205/55/20 205 is 205 mm across the tire (width) 55 is 55 mm the profile 55 is a low profile tire (height of wall) And 20 is diameter or the rim ( size of the rim)
What is the difference between a 65 and a 70 in tire size?
The 65 series tire will be wider if both sizes are equal. Example is 205/70-15 versus 205/65-15. The 65 series will be wider but have less overall diameter. The series of the tire is a height to width ratio. A 65 series tire has a height that is 65% of the width, so a 205/65 tire is 205 millimeters wide and 205*.65=133.25 millimeters tall (rim to tread). Since it's usually not recommended to change tire diameters, if you want to go wider or narrower you need to change the width and series. For instance a 205/70 will have almost the same diameter as a 225/65.
What is the effect of switching 205-55-R16 tires with 205-60-R16 tires?
Sidewall height. 205 = width of the tire, 55 = percent of tire that is sidewall, R16 = rim size. Therefore, if you switch a tire to 205 60 R16, you will have a larger sidewall. Larger sidewalls can cause more flex, degrading the vehicles cornering capability.
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.

1994 Lexus SC300 what size rims tires are 205-65 R15?
You kinda answered your own question. 205 is the width of the tire in millimeters. 65 is the percentage of that with; which is also the height of the sidewall. R stands for radial. 15 is the diameter of the wheel the tire fits on.
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.
What is the difference between a 205 70 r15 tire and a 205 65 r15 tire?
