Yes you can. The table below indicates that the two tires can share the 17 inch rim size with the same 7 inch width, which gives a slightly smaller overall diameter (only 1 cm), which is negligible and wouldn't really affect the overall handling of the car with similarly minimal effect on speedometer reading.
Is the a big difference between 215 and 225 tires?
The 215 will likely have a higher aspect ratio than the 225 due to differences in their widths. This slight change in the ratio will affect the tire's performance on the road. The lower profile in tires creates a stiffer ride than what you will experience in tires with a standard sidewall aspect ratio of more than 75.
Can I use a tire that is a different size?
Wheels and tires are not interchangeable words. Tires are a part of the wheel setup. For instance, your vehicle has a set size of rims, but you can buy different sizes of tires to fit those rims, as long as the middle of the tires is the correct size.
Do tires have to match on 4 wheel drive?
4WD and AWD vehicles require special attention to insure that all four tires are closely matched in diameter to avoid strain and possible damage to the vehicle's differentials and/or viscous couplings.
Can I put different size tires on my bike?
Bicycle wheels can handle a range of different widths, so it's not absolutely necessary to replace your tires with one with the exact same width. In fact, there are often advantages to using a tire that is a little wider, as long as your bicycle has adequate clearance to handle the larger size.
Can you miss match tires?
If you continually use mismatched tires and wheels they will wear out unevenly and can cause problems later down the road. If you choose to drive your vehicle with mismatched wheels the same issues can result. Mismatched wheels will fit each tire differently causing uneven wear and tear.
Can I put different size tires on the back?
Long story short: Yes, it is a problem to have two tires of different sizes on the front (or back) of your car. Having two different-sized tires on the same axle is generally not a good thing. Sometimes, people choose to put larger tires on the rear axle of their vehicle for handling reasons, cosmetic reasons, etc.May 1, 2014
What's the difference between a 225 tire and a 215 tire?
The 225 is only 10mm wider than the 215, but it is also 22mm taller with 11mm less clearance between the center of the wheel and the suspension components above the steering knuckle.. As most vehicles are engineered with at least 1 inch of clearance above the tire, this difference should not pose a problem..
Will 225 60R16 fit 215 60R16?
“Can I replace 225/60R16 tires with 215/60R16?” Yes, but you shouldn't replace just a single tire with a different size.
Are 215tires better than 225?
The 215tires will provide less grip than the 225 tires due to their different widths. With an increased grip on the road surface, the 225 tires will achieve greater levels of shorter braking distances while increasing traction, especially on wet surfaces.
Can I use 245 tires instead of 235?
It is obvious that 245 is bigger than 235, still, both tires' sizes are pretty common and could be interchangeable at times.
Can you do an alignment with different size tires?
Tire size affects a car's alignment. When the tire size is different from the factory, a car's alignment will need to be adjusted after a tire change. A tire with a smaller overall diameter creates less of an effect on the vehicle's alignment, but still requires minor adjustments after installation.
Do all tires need to match?
Primarily, you should avoid mixing different tire brands and different tread patterns. There are rare exceptions for approved mixed-tire fittings, but in general, manufacturers do not recommend tire mixing at all.
Should front and rear tyres be the same size?
For optimal safety and performance, Continental recommends fitting the same tires to every wheel position on your car, so drivers should have the same brand, size, tread pattern, load index, and speed rating on the front and rear tires.
Is it legal to drive with different size tires?
A: The mismatched tire is a dangerous situation. It should be replaced with the proper size immediately. And they have placed the tire on the worst possible end of the car, the rear. Mis-sized rear tires can lead to a loss of control under hard braking (the car can spin).
