A 235/70-16 or 275/60-16 would both be a good replacements depending on which way you want to go. I you go with the 275/60-16 just make sure you have good clearance and the tire does not rub when making a sharp turn.

Can you replace 255-70-16 tire with 235-85-16?

No, this is a very bad substitute. If you go to a 85 series tire which I highly recommend you do not do, you would need to install a 215/85-16. Another good substitute that would work well is a 235/75-16.

P 255 70 R 16 what do numbers mean?

First letter, tire type: P= passenger car, LT=Light Truck, T= Temporary, ST= trailer. Numbers: 255 = width 70= percentage of width that the sidewall is (how much rubber is around the rim). Low profile sport car tires will have smaller numbers (i.e. 255 20 R 17) R 16= Means Radial Tire, wheel size 16 inches. Radial refers to the belt organization within the tire. The other option is "D" for diagonal. R and D tires can not be used on the same vehicle. Translation: P 255 70 R 16 is a passenger tire that is 255 mm wide, not low profile, that mounts on a 16" rim.


Can you replace 255 r70 16 tires with 215 r60 16 tires?

Absoulty not if the 255/70-16 is the OEM tire size. The 215 will be 13% smaller in overall diameter. You should never, ever go over 3% different. You would have to go to a 275/60-16 to even be close to 3% and then it would be 3.5% smaller.
