PLEASE: Look at your Owner's Manual - your answer is there, OR either Chilton's or Hayes Auto Repair Manuals (Advanced Auto, Auto Zone, Quest, etc.) <<<
Know this: Ready you automobile insurance policy carefully, as "Explorer's" are considered "SUV's". Because of the "tire blowout's/Explorer rollover issue," when the Explorer's first came out, many ins. co. Underwriters, began adding specific language in the policies they underwrote. Namely, that IF you deviate, at all, with the tire size that is written on the Manufacturer's sticker - located on the driver's side "door jam - this is the size tire you should be replacing with. IF you are buying a "solid rubber" tire, most Insurance companies will not underwrite ANY liability's) whatsoever, and you are on-your-own, IF your vehicle, or *anything* else is damaged, and said damage(s) are attributed to your tire(s).
BTW: A local Firestone quoted me a price, on a good set of 4 SUV tires. They handed me a print-out of my quote, when I walked-in, so I could sign same, so they could replace my tires. My Manufacturer's sticker stated that the first three numbers on my tires are "245", but Firestone's database stated my tires began with "235". They had to reprint my quote, now $140 US less. Moreover, I mentioned this to someone I know, who suggested I read my Insurance policy about "Disclaimers on mounted tires..." I did not read this section, as the man I was speaking with is a retired Major from the local, County Sheriff's Dept.. I did ask a Junior Agent, who works under my Insurance agent, and he told me: "...and the tires you buy and have mounted on your vehicle, must matched what the Manufacturer's sticker, because you have one of the SUV on our "list".

what is the diameter difference from a 205/65/16 vs. 225/60/16
Yes, you can replace your 245/70R16 tires with 225/75R16 tires, but there are some important considerations. The 225/75R16 tires are narrower and have a slightly larger overall diameter, which can affect your vehicle's handling, speedometer accuracy, and clearance. Ensure that there is enough space in your wheel wells and consult your vehicle's specifications or a tire professional to confirm compatibility and safety.

225-60-16 radial tires
Yes you can, as long as you replace all four tires. Having different sizes tires on the vehicle will ruin the diff as the car believes it is constantly cornering, thus wearing either side at a different rate.
225/60-16
Yes, that's reasonable.
225/60-16
Can a 225/60R 16 tire replace a 235/70R 16 tire.
