No, this is a horrible swap. The 285 tire will be 2.77" larger in diameter. Your speedometer will show 60 mph at an actual speed of 65.07 mph.

I doubt it and certainly not on the same rim. It's possible, but I would ask a tire shop pro to check it out.

Can you replace 255 r70 16 tires with 215 r60 16 tires?
Absoulty not if the 255/70-16 is the OEM tire size. The 215 will be 13% smaller in overall diameter. You should never, ever go over 3% different. You would have to go to a 275/60-16 to even be close to 3% and then it would be 3.5% smaller.

Can you replace 235 70 16 tires with 255 70 16 tires on 2002 Jeep Liberty 4 x 4?
No, the 255/70-16 is too large and the diameter will be 1.10" too tall and your speedometer will be 2.2 mph too slow. You are going over 3% difference in size which is never advisable. You can use a 245/70 or a 245/60 but not a 255/70. Make sure all 4 tires are the same size on a 4wd vehicle.
Can you replace 255 70 16 tires with 305 70 16?
The numbers to compare here are the changing widths(bead to bead) of the two tires. First, these are metric tires and the values are in millameters. The difference between the two is 50 mm. This translates into 2" inches. On a tire of this height I would say no. The tire will bulge out from the rim and you will have control problems.
