Yes you can as long as the rim diameter is the same. You left off the last number on your size. The sidewall will be taller on the 65 versus the 55 and this will affect the overall diameter of the tire so your speedometer may/will be off depending on the year of your car. The 65 will make less revolutions per mile than the 55.
No, if you are going to a 70 series tire then you will need to go with 195/70-15.
Yes they could .
The 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer came standard with 215 65R 16 tires. The automobile manufacture offered 225 65R 17 tires as an option.
No, there is a 3.15% difference in overall diameter. This will cause your speedometer to be off 2 mph.
The 2003 Pontiac Sunfire came from the manufacturer equipped with 225 65R 15 tires. The back and the front tires were the same size.
Ideally you should have four tires on the car that match. With that being said you can certainly replace your 65r tires with 70r tires. The 70 refers to the width of the tire and a 70 is slightly narrower than a 65. The lower the number the wider the tire. I would not put 1 65 width tire on one side and a 70 width on the other side of the car, they will wear unevenly.
195 65r 15 is the tire size. 65 is width and 15 is rim size
yes. but i would change all four tires to that size or at least the front two or back two. but also realize you might have some camber issues by doing this swap. Also your speedometer will be off about 2 mph.
Yes, they will, - and if ever they won't , all tire shops will tell you. -They don't want to be responsible for fools fitting wrong tire/rim combinations.
That is an acceptable swap but a much better choice would be 245/60-17 which is an excellent swap.
Yes, it should - but it may not fit in your wheel wells, and will definitely throw off your odometer and speedometer as well.
I have one and find the best size is 215/65R -15. Other acceptable sizes are 205/70 R-15 or 205/65 R-15.
