Depends on the aspect ratio of the tire. For instance a 215/70-16 and a 205/75-16 are almost the exact same diameter with the 205 tire being 1/4" larger in diameter because it has a larger aspect ratio. For all practical purposes they are the same height. I would have to know the aspect ratio of both tires to answer the question.

205 55r 16 tires vs 215 55r16?

The only difference is that 215 tires are taller. The first number in the name (215) indicates the tire sidewall height, the second part (55) is the tire tread width, the third part (r) shows that the tire is a radial tire, and the fourth part (16) indicates the rim size.

No, it will not.


I have the chance of a spare wheel having a 205 55 16 tire but will a 215 60 16 tire fit that wheel to match the others on my car in case I get a puncture the response below does not answer my query?

Tires on the same axle should match if all 4 are not the same. The 215s are an inch taller (or thereabouts) than the 205's. the taller ones should go on back if you have 2. However, this does not answer the question raised as to whether a 215 60 16 tire will fit on the same wheel that currently has a 205 55 16 tire ! Hopefully someone knows the answer.

Can a 205 70R15 tire be mixed with the other 3 tires 215 70R15?

NO, absolutely not. Never, ever, mix tire sizes on the same axle. You could put a set of 215 on the front and then a set of 205 on the rear but not a 205 & 215 on the same axle. Tires on each axle must be the exact same size.
