No, this is a horrible swap. If you want to go with a 75 series tire then you must go with a 185/75-15. This swap would work but your handling and braking would be negatively effected. Stick with the OEM size that the engineers chose for your car.
Yes this is an acceptable swap.
The numbers on a tire represents different meanings for example: P215/65R15 the no.215 stands for the width of the tire in millimeters, the no.65 represents the height or aspect ratio of the tire, and the no.15 stands for the tires rim and wheel diameter
I have a 2002 Nissan altima with tires 205/65R16 can I replace them with 215/65R15, the tires came on 5 bolt rims and will fit on the altima. If the tires are on 15 inch rims, you are ok. You can not put 15 inch tires on 16 inch rims, or 16 inch tires on 15 inch rims.
The 195's are a l skinner then the 215's across the tread and will cause damage to the sidewalk and eventually the tire will fail. It will also cause a tire to ware out
Yes, you can but your speedometer will be 1.8 mph to fast. A much better swap would be 225/65-16.
235/60-15 or 215/65-15 are both acceptable swaps. I would go with the 215/65 as you may have clearance issues with the 235 series tire.
yes
Yes. I've done it. Fits well.
Maybe, but it's quite a bit wider. Check for rubbing very carefully.
Yes as long as you keep the overall diameter the same. For instance you would replace a 185/75-15 tire with a 215/65-15 tire which would keep your overall diameter almost the same. Click the link to calculate what size tire to go with.
no they are metric.... nothing can replace them.
If there is enough clearance for the wider tire, yes.
