No, the 15" tire will be 1" smaller. Your speedometer will be off, your mileage will suffer and the can will handle totally different. If you want to go with a 15" tire then install a 235/70-15 or a 265/60-15

Can? Yes. Should you? No. There will be a 3.17% difference in diameter and your speedometer will be 2 mph fast. A better substitute is a 235/65-15. 215/65 profile is 139.75mm. -- 215/70 profile is 150.5mm --7.1% diff.

Can 215 70 R15 substitute 215 60 R15 tires?

Can they? Yes. Should you substitute with this size? No. The 215/70 tires will be 1.7" larger, (6.34%) in diameter and your speedometer will read 56.1 at a true 60 mph. You should never go over or under 3% of the OEM size. If you want to go with a 70 series tire then go with a 185/70-15 which is only .04 " larger in diameter. My advice is to stick with the OEM size for overall good handling, stopping, mileage, tread wear, and ride.


Can you substitute 215-75 R15 tires for 206-70 R15 tires?

You must mean 205/70-15 as there is no 206 size. The answer is no, as you will be going to a tire that is over 5% larger in diameter. Your speedometer will be off 3 mph. You can however substitute a 215/65-15 or a 195/75-15

Can you substitute 215-70 R15 tires for 215-75 R15 tires?

Of course you can, but I highly recommend against it. The 215/70 tire will be 3.04% smaller in overall diameter and your speedometer will read 61.8 at a true 60 mph. Performance, handling, will also be adversely effected. If you wish to go to a 70 series tire then install a set of 235/70-15 tires which is acceptable and very close to the OEM size. Your speedometer will read 59.4 at a true 60 mph.
