Here is a list describing CAR tire specs. This is not for truck tires.
- My van tires are - - P215/65R15 95H. ( This whole number is important )
- That P means it's a passenger vehicle tire,
- 215 is tread width in millimeters,
- 65 is the aspect ratio, it's a wide oval. ( 75 means it's rounder in cross section)
- R means it's a Radial

- 95 -is it's load range, and in the ISO/Metric Standards list '95' means each tire can support 1500 pounds weight.
- H - The final letter is it's 'speed rating' , and again in the ISO/metric system, 'H' means it's rated at speeds up to 130 mph.

What is the effect of switching 205-55-R16 tires with 205-60-R16 tires?
Sidewall height. 205 = width of the tire, 55 = percent of tire that is sidewall, R16 = rim size. Therefore, if you switch a tire to 205 60 R16, you will have a larger sidewall. Larger sidewalls can cause more flex, degrading the vehicles cornering capability.

Can the size of wheels be changed on a car?
Short answer: Yes Vehicle manufactures will put the 'recommended' wheel size (width, aspect and diameter) on the drivers door jamb. You can change the size of the wheels (rims) but you need to consider all aspects of this. Tires (in the US) have 3 numbers to identify the width, aspect, and wheel diameter In the example: 205-55-R16 205 represents the width of the tire (how wide it is hitting the ground) The 55 is the aspect (how high the tire is between the road and the rim) and the R16 is the diameter of the wheel or rim. Changing the width (205-55-R16 to 255-55-R16) will give you a much wider tire for better traction and control. But, a wider tire may rub against wheel wells and fenders. This may not be noticeable until they are actually on the car and driving around as bumps and stuff can effect it. Changing the aspect (205-55-R16 to 205-35-R16) the lower the number will give you a lower profile tire which means better response and overall handling. Downside to this is, potholes can blow a lower profile tire and damage the rim easier then a higher profile tire. Changing the size (205-55-R16 to 205-55-R20) will give you a larger rim but will it fit in the wheel well and will it rub etc.? Changing the size of the wheel at all, will require replacing the tire on it, as well
