Yes.

An odometer countr the number of turns. A bigger wheel has a longer circumference, so one turn equals a longer distance travelled. Change to bigger(diameter, not width) wheels and the odo (and the speedo too) will read low (= show less mileage/speed than actually travelled). Change to smaller (diameter, not width) and they will read high (show more mileage/speed than actually travelled).

Can I change P20570R15 with P23570R15?

Not on a Windstar. Ford allows for two tire sizes for most models, the 205-70-R15, or the optional 215-70-R15. Changing tire size that drastically could lead to clearance interference, and speedometer/odometer false readings

Do bigger tires affect odometer readings?

Yes. Odometers don't measure the distance directly, they count the number of turns. Usually somewhere in the drive train, after the gear box. A bigger tire will have a bigger circumference. And bigger circumference means that you get a longer travelled distance for each turn.

Does tire size change speed of the vehicle?

Yes not only does it change the speed of the vehicle, it will also affect the odometer and the MPGs the vehicle is getting (not for the better usually). its always best the check what tire size the vehicle manufacturer recommends for your specific vehicle, the size is listed on a spec sticker on the drivers side door edge or the frame near the latch plate. you want to either match that tire size or get a tire of equal diameter - IE. total height. To see the difference yourself with your tire size change check this website out - just six steps to figure out speedometer changes and tire height differences. http://www.net-comber.com/tirecalc.html


Can a tire 205x60x15 work on a car that uses 195x60x15?

Maybe, but the tire will be larger and cause incorrect speedometer and odometer readings. If the tires do still fit the car, some tire shops can recalibrate the speedometer. The size of the tires breaks down like this: P195 60R15 means a tire that is 195 mm wide, the sidewall height is 60% of the 195 (4.6 inches), and the wheel size is 15 inches. The diameter for that tire is 24.2 inches (15 inch wheel plus 4.6 inch sidewall (doubled because you have to account for both ends of the tire as you measure across) The 205 tire will be approximately half an inch taller overall (24.7 inches)
