Not unless you change the aspect ratio. For instance: If you have a 215/70-15 tire and you replace it with a 255/70-15 this would be a horrible swap as the 255/70-15 would be 7.58% larger in overall diameter. It is never advisable to go over 3% difference in size. Besides your speedometer would read 55.4 at a true 60 mph. If you want to install a 255 tire you will need to install a 255/60-15 to replace a 215/70-15 which is an excellent swap.
