What is the effect of switching 205-55-R16 tires with 205-60-R16 tires?

Sidewall height. 205 = width of the tire, 55 = percent of tire that is sidewall, R16 = rim size. Therefore, if you switch a tire to 205 60 R16, you will have a larger sidewall. Larger sidewalls can cause more flex, degrading the vehicles cornering capability.

What is tire rotation for 2008 dodge charger?
The standard front to back switching sides is ok - but i would recommend bringing the front tires straight back and switching sides as you bring the rear tires forward, as this means there will be 4 rotations before the tire is back in it's 'starting' position vice only 2. This should be done with every oil change. If the tires have a directional tread pattern they will have an arrow on the side showing the direction of rotation. These tires can only go front to back an back to front. They must say on the same side of the vehicle.
