It depends on what kind of vehical and tires you have. If you have directional tires they need to be rotated front to back on the same side of the car. 4x4 recomends to cross rotate like the letter x lr to rf/rr to lf etc. It is also important to keep your tires balanced/recomend getting that done on a high speed spin ballancer. That will keep it both in Static and Dynamic(side to side&up and down)balance. Prices differ between places, at sams club it will cost you aprox. $15. Failure to rotate the tires will result in the tires cupping, causing undesirable ride, leading to premature suspension wear.

Can p225 and p235 tires fit on the same 75R15 rim?

Yes. The 235s are about 0.5 inch wider. My first set were P225 70R16 on my Toyota Highlander and when I replaced them I put on P235 70R16 tires per mechanics' suggestion. If you want better stability or carrying more weight, use 235s. If you want better gas mileage and tend to not carry a lot of weight, use 225s.
