They'll work fine. The difference between a 215/60 and a 225/60 isn't enough to cause any problems. Your speedo will read a little fast but maybe that'll help keep you from getting speeding tickets. Actually, going from a 225/60R16 to a 215/60R16 is a change in both diameter and sidewall.
Are 215 and 225 tires interchangeable?
Yes, you can. But only if the rims on your car can accommodate tires that are 10-20 millimeters wider. Bear in mind that wider wheels require more fuel due to their increased rolling resistance. Again, wider tires are more costly than narrower ones because they need more rubber during construction.
What's the difference between a 225 tire and a 215 tire?
215 and 225 are the tire widths measured in millimeters. That said, 225 is wider than 215, however, in terms of aspect ratio, the latter has a higher profile. These two tire sizes also serve a specific purpose depending on general usage.
Can I use 215 55r16 instead of 225 60R16?
Yes you can use your existing tires.
Can I use 225 60R16 instead of 215 70r16?

Banned. It will be fine not much of a different at all. It will throw your speedometer off a little.

What does 60R16 mean?
A P225/60R16 tire is a radial tire that fits a 16-inch rim. It has a width of 225 mm, which equates to being slightly under 9 inches. The sidewall of this tire is 60% of 225 mm, which is 135 mm (approx. 5.3 inches).
How much difference in tire size is acceptable?
When changing tire sizes, we recommend staying within 3% of the diameter/height of the original tire. Any more than this and you face the risk of brake failure.
Can I put bigger tires on my stock rims?
As a general rule of thumb, it's safe to fit a tire up to 20 millimeters wider than stock on the original rim. The actual width of the tire will vary depending on the width of the rim: The tire will expand 5 millimeters for every half inch (12.5 millimeters) increase in rim width.
Why are wider tires better?
There's a reason why the majority of cars have wide rather than narrow tires. Overall, wider tires are better for dry surfaces and for high-performance vehicles. Greater surface area allows for better day-to-day traction and durability.
What does the 225 mean in tire size?
The number “225” stands for the width of the tire in millimeters – so in this case the tire is 22.5 cm wide. The “45” that follows is the aspect ratio - the height of the tire sidewall as a percentage of its width.
Can I put bigger tires on my car?
In most cases, the answer is yes. No one can deny the aesthetic appeal of having larger tires and wheels on your car, light truck or SUV. Adding a larger tire and wheel combination to your vehicle is referred to as “plus sizing” such as a “plus one” or “plus two” fitment.
Can I put different aspect ratio tires on my car?
That said, the only dimensions you can change are the width and aspect ratio — never the wheel size, unless you buy replacement wheels — and you should always strive to keep the total height of the tire the same as the OEM. So, if you widen the tire, you may need to decrease the aspect ratio, and vice versa.
What is the sizing system for 225 60r16?
The 60 is the aspect ratio, or the profile of the sidewall. This example shows that the sidewall of the tires would be 60% of the width of the tread. (60% of 225=135mm or 5.31”) The final number is the diameter of the wheel that the tire would fit. In this case, the tire would fit a 16” wheel.
How do you read a 215 60r16?
This number indicates that your tire has a width of 215 millimeters. This number means that your tire has an aspect ratio of 60%. In other words, your tire's sidewall height (from the edge of the rim to the tire's tread) is 60% of the width. In this case, the sidewall height works out to be 129 millimeters.
What is 95v on tire?
V - Speed ratings are represented by letters ranging from A to Z. Each letter coincides to the maximum speed a tire can sustain under its recommended load capacity. For instance, V is equivalent to a maximum speed of 149 mph.
Are 55 and 60 tires interchangeable?
Yes...the wheel/tire combo has an overall diameter/circumference that should be maintained with 3% (+/-) the original spec.
Which tire is wider 45 or 50?
got that 1 wrong, the 45 and 50 is a percentage of the width, so the difference between 45 and 50 profiles is 5% of the width.
What is the difference between a 60 and 65 series tire?
What is the difference between 65 and 60 tires? The 65% aspect ratio (as in 235/65/17), compared to 60%, adds almost 12 mm (1/2″) to the radius of the tire (0.65-0.60)*(235mm)=11.75mm.
Can I use 225 45R17 instead of 215 50R17?
225/45R17's would definitely handle better than 215/50R17's since they are wider & lower profile (0.5" less in diameter) but 225's are really too wide for the TSX stock wheel 17x7. I went 225/50R17's which are just a little taller than the stock 215's, but on wider 17x7.
What size rim do I need for 225 50R17?
You need the rim size of 17″ x 6-8″ for 225/50R17 tires.
Can I use 215 60R16 instead 215 65R16?
Registered. I wouldn't do it, if only because of the load capacity rating difference. The P215/65R16 has a load capacity rating of 96, whereas the P215/60R16 has a load capacity rating of 94. Stay safe with tires.
