No. Here's some info of what the numbers mean on your tire's sidewall;

P215/70 R16 for example...

"P" means "Passenger" class tire, others might read "LT" for "Light Truck".

The 215 is the width of the tread in millimeters...25.4mm per inch so your tread is about 8.6 inches wide. I'm not too great visualizing with metric...

The 70 is an Aspect Ratio...basically its a percentage comparing the height of your sidewall to the width of the tread...so the sidewall height is 70% of the tread width...so about 6 inches in this case.

The "R" stands for "Radial" tire. Most cars anymore have radials...has to do with the construction with the steel belts within the tire...but I digress.

Finally the last number, "16" here, is the diameter wheel the tire is made to fit, and there really is no "wiggle-room" or "making-it-fit" in this area.
