What number on a tire indicates the height?

No number specifically indicates the height. You can however figure the height with a little math. As in 245/70-15 the 245 is the width of the tire in millimeters. The 70 is the aspect ratio which means the tire's height is 70% of the tires width. So on this example the height of the tire is 171.5 millimeters.


What is the difference between a 22570 tire and a 21575 tire?

The difference between a 225/70 tire and a 215/75 tire lies in their width and aspect ratio. The first number represents the tire width in millimeters, so a 225 tire is wider than a 215 tire. The second number indicates the aspect ratio, which is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width; a 70 aspect ratio means the sidewall height is 70% of the width for the 225 tire, while a 75 aspect ratio means the height is 75% of the width for the 215 tire. This results in the 215/75 tire having a taller sidewall compared to the 225/70 tire.

Can i put 16inch wheel on a car with 15inch?

Yes, if you have the correct width and back spacing. You will need a tire with a lower profile (sidewall height tire) to maintain tire diameter/height, or your speedometer will be inaccurate.
