What's the difference between 215 and 225 tires?

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 you use 215 tires instead of 225?

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.

Can you put different size tires on same rim?

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.

If you paid for 18's, you should get 18's.

Can I put 215 tires on 205 rims?

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.

Which tire sizes are interchangeable?

What size Tyres fit 18-inch rims?

Are 18 wheels better than 17?

Subjectively, both the 17-inch and 18-inch wheels and tires were in the sweet spot of grip, braking performance, ride comfort, and steering feel. Moving from 17-inchers to 18s barely degrades ride quality, and the additional grip is welcome.
