Depends on the aspect ratio of the tire. For instance a 215/70-16 and a 205/75-16 are almost the exact same diameter with the 205 tire being 1/4" larger in diameter because it has a larger aspect ratio. For all practical purposes they are the same height. I would have to know the aspect ratio of both tires to answer the question.
If they have the identical aspect ratio and wheel diameter as comparing a 215/70-15 to a 205/70-15 the 215 tire will be .56" taller.
0.8 inches.
Yes it can.
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.
No, it will not.
No, you cannot directly replace a tire size 215/75R15 with 205/65R15 because they have different dimensions. The 215/75R15 tire is wider and has a taller sidewall compared to the 205/65R15, which can affect the vehicle's handling, speedometer accuracy, and overall performance. It's essential to consult your vehicle's specifications or a tire professional to ensure compatibility and safety when changing tire sizes.
Tires on the same axle should match if all 4 are not the same. The 215s are an inch taller (or thereabouts) than the 205's. the taller ones should go on back if you have 2. However, this does not answer the question raised as to whether a 215 60 16 tire will fit on the same wheel that currently has a 205 55 16 tire ! Hopefully someone knows the answer.
The advantage of the 215/65R15 tire over the 205/70R15 tire primarily lies in its wider width, which can enhance grip and stability, especially during cornering. The lower aspect ratio (65 vs. 70) of the 215 tire may also provide better handling and responsiveness due to a shorter sidewall. However, the 205 tire may offer a slightly smoother ride and better fuel efficiency due to its taller sidewall. Ultimately, the choice depends on the specific driving needs and preferences.
The width, by 10 mm
You can replace 215/60R16 tires with 205/65R16 tires, but it's important to consider the differences in width and aspect ratio. The 205 tire is narrower and has a taller sidewall, which may affect handling, speedometer accuracy, and overall ride quality. Always check with a tire professional or your vehicle's specifications to ensure compatibility and safety.
Yes, the 65 tire is only slightly taller.
