NO, you would want to go with a 225/70-17 to equal a 235/65-17 A 265/70-17 is equal to a 275/65-17 and are way too big for this car. My advice is stick with the exact same size tires that came on the car.

Yes, that's really not much if a difference. As long as the cross section (60, 65 or 70) is the same on both, that'll work. You should not, for instance, substitute a 265/60 for a 255/70, but as long as the cross-section # is same you're OK.

Some more information. As an example if you switch from a 255/70-15 to a 265/70-15 your speedometer will read 58.8 at a true 60 mph. Overall diameter will increase .55" which will cause a very slight loss of power. You would have to switch to a 275/65-15 to keep all aspects close to the OEM tire. it does make a difference when you switch tire sizes. My advice is to stick with the size tire the engineers chose for your vehicle. There is no positives to changing the size but there are negatives.

That is not the whole ID number. -You left out the profile, 60 or 65 or 70. That's necessary if you expect a good answer. Give us full information.

Yes, in pairs as long as the rim size is same. If the vehicle is a 4+4, all tires must be the same size.

On most cars you probably could, just make sure the front tires don't rub anything when turned at the limit of steering.

Neither of those numbers are the entire number - you have left out the profile figure. If you expect a good answer it is necessary to give us ALL the pertinent facts.

Yes, this is an acceptable swap. However your speedometer will be 1 mph off.
