How do you know if a tire is compatible?

Width and diameter are the two factors that determine tire and rim compatibility. For diameter you’ll need to be sure that your tires and wheels are an exact match, e.g. a 215/65R17 tire will only fit on a 17″ diameter wheel. There’s a bit more flexibility when it comes to wheel widths.

Can I use 235 55r17 instead of 225 65R17?

Yes. For safety reasons be sure that the replacement tires are rated for both load and speed at or above the specifications for your Vehicle. Be sure to replace the tires in pairs on either the front or rear axles. Failure to do so could cause problems.

Can I use 225 65R17 instead of 235 60R17?

What’s the difference between 235 and 215 tires?

What is the difference between a 205 tire and a 235 tire?

The first number is the tread width in millimeters. So, one is 205 millimeters wide, the other is 235. The second number is the aspect ratio where the sidewall is 75 percent as wide as the tread width. So, wider tread also equals a taller tire too.

Can I change tire size without changing rims?

It’s possible to change the size of your tires without actually changing the diameter. One example is if you want larger rims – you can buy tires that compensate for the larger rims by reducing the “height” of the outer tire.

Can wider tires fit on same rim?
