Best Answer

The second number in those sizes is the aspect ratio. You would be changing overall height. The 215/65 will be 1.7 inches taller in overall diameter. Depending on vehicle and many other factors I cant tell you whether it would be acceptable on your vehicle or not. It is over the 3% max diameter change recommended by most manufactures.

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.

Can you replace a tire size 20565R16 with tire size 21565R15?

I have a 2002 Nissan altima with tires 205/65R16 can I replace them with 215/65R15, the tires came on 5 bolt rims and will fit on the altima. If the tires are on 15 inch rims, you are ok. You can not put 15 inch tires on 16 inch rims, or 16 inch tires on 15 inch rims.

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.


Will a 215 65R 16 tire fit on the same rim as a 205 55R 16?

Yes, it should - but it may not fit in your wheel wells, and will definitely throw off your odometer and speedometer as well.


Can you replace 215 60 r17 tires with 215 65 r16 tires?

First off you will have to install different wheels. Assuming you have 16" wheels to install the tires on the answer is yes. This is an very acceptable substitute. Your speedometer will read 60.3 at a true 60 mph with the 16" tires and your engine will turn 4.2 more revolutions per mile which is negligible. Go for it as you have made a very good choice.
