Yes you can
yes, but the 245 will be wider.....make sure you won't have clearance issues when turning...otherwise you'll be fine.
That is an acceptable swap but a much better choice would be 245/60-17 which is an excellent swap.
The owner's manual of your car will tell you which sizes of tires may be used.
I just put a set of coopers that size (245/70/17) on my 2008 Chevy Trailblazer with no adjustments. They look great!
Not without changing the wheels also. If you also change the wheels to 17 inch wheels then that is an acceptable swap.
what is 55-17
215 55R 17
Yes they will.
Yes, you can . They must be mounted as a pair.
You can put 245 70 16 tires on the 2009 Ford Escape but you will need to change the rims. This model comes with the standard rim that is 17 inches.
Its a popular size. My mercedes has them. Many other manufacturers.
