Yes, to both yet check with the vehicles recommendations/limitations. The downside of using over or undersized tires are, but not limited to: Voiding the tire warranty, damaging the wheel wells, damaging the tires, reducing braking efficiency, reduce vehicle handling etc.

Aspect ratio in relation to tires?
Aspect ratio is the height of the sidewall compared to th width of the tread, in a 70 series tire, the sidewall height would be 70% of the tread width.
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.
What is contract width?
"Contact" width is the tread with of a tire, not to be confused with sidewall width.
Can 235 75 R15 tires substitute 225 75 R15 tires?
The 225/55 tires are wider and shorter in sidewall height, so the height would be fine but you'll need to see if the width works without scraping.
Can you substitute 225-55 R15 tires for 235-75 R15 tires?
The 225/55 tires are wider and shorter in sidewall height, so the height would be fine but you'll need to see if the width works without scraping.
What does 215 35 19 cheap tires mean?
This is the tire specification, and you read it this way: The first number is the section width of the tire from sidewall to sidewall in millimeters, which is 215 in this case. The second number is an aspect ratio. The sidewall height is 35% of the section width. The 19 is the rim diameter. You can show these specifications to get the correct tire for your vehicle. You can get good value tires from Costco. Before you buy any tires that are advertised as 'cheap', be sure to check they are in total conformation with the safety requirements, else the 'cheap' would work out to be very dear in the long run.
What is the difference between P225 75R15 and P235 75R15 tires?
The difference between a P225 75R 15 tire and a P235 75R 15 tire is the width of the tread and the height of the sidewall. The first number is the tread width in millimetres. The second number is the aspect ratio. That is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tread width. So it would be 225x75% fir example.
How are tires measured?
The 205 means the tire is 205 millimeter across from the widest point of it's outer sidewall to the widest point of it's inner sidewall. The 60 indicates that the tire's sizes sidewall height, from rim to tread, is 60% of it's section width. Of course the last number is the wheel size in inches.
Where are Nexem tires made?
I own nexem tires say made in Korea on sidewall.
What do the three sets of numbers on tire size?
Say you have a tire size 205/60HR16:205 is the section width of the tire in millimeters. Section width is the overall width from sidewall to sidewall. Tread width is typically 90% of the section width. In the above size, the section width is 205mm.The second number is the aspect ratio. This is the percentage ratio of the sidewall height to section width. In the above example, the sidewall height is 60% of the section width.The last number is the wheel diameter in inches. So in the above example, the wheel diameter is 16 inches.The R in the size designation means the tire is a radial tire, as almost all car tires are. The letter in front of the R (H in the above example) is the speed rating of the tire. The speed rating is the maximum speed the manufacturer recommends for the tire.
Can you use 235R16 tires on a truck in place of 255R16 tires?
You don't give the profile. If you put 235R16 in place of 255R16 that is a less wide tire, but if the profile is the same (the missing number, for example 255/60R16) it will be a shorter sidewall, the profile, the '60' is the % of width
If you have a tire that is 20565R15 can you change tires with different sidewall ratio but have the same tire size 205 and rim 15 so a wider tire and a larger tire foot print?
205 is the width of your tire the 65 is an aspect ratio that determines how tall the tire is compared to the width
