No, this is an unacceptable swap. You must never go over or under 3% of the original tires diameter. The 65 series tire will be 3.21% larger in overall diameter. This will have an adverse effect on handling, ride, & braking. Your speedometer will also be off 2 mph.

Can you use 225 50 r17 instead of 225 60 r17?

Yes, you can use 225/50 R17 tires instead of 225/60 R17 tires, but there are important considerations. The 225/50 R17 tires have a shorter sidewall, which will affect ride comfort and handling, potentially leading to a stiffer ride and increased cornering performance. Additionally, the overall diameter of the tire will be smaller, which can impact speedometer accuracy and may affect the vehicle's clearance and suspension. Always consult a professional or refer to your vehicle's specifications before making such changes.

Yes, you can use 215/60 R17 tires instead of 225/65 R17 tires, but there are some important considerations. The 215/60 R17 tires will have a smaller overall diameter and narrower width, which may affect your vehicle's handling, speedometer accuracy, and load capacity. It's essential to check your vehicle's specifications and consult with a tire professional to ensure compatibility and safety.


Can you use 235 60 r17 instead of 225 65 r 17?

Yes, you can use 235/60 R17 instead of 225/65 R17, but there are some considerations. The 235/60 tire is wider and has a shorter sidewall, which may affect your vehicle's handling, ride comfort, and speedometer accuracy. It's important to check the vehicle's specifications and ensure that the new tire size won't cause any clearance issues or affect the overall performance. Always consult a tire professional if you're unsure about compatibility.


Can you replace 215 60 R17 tires with 225 60 R16 tires?

No, how would they fit the rim.


Can you use 225 60 r17 instead of 215 65 r17?

Yes, you can use a 225/60R17 tire instead of a 215/65R17 tire, but there are a few things to consider. The first number (225 vs. 215) refers to the width of the tire in millimeters, so the 225 tire will be slightly wider. The second number (60 vs. 65) is the aspect ratio, indicating the height of the tire sidewall as a percentage of the width. A 60 aspect ratio means the sidewall is lower than a 65 aspect ratio, which may affect the ride comfort and handling of the vehicle. It's always best to consult with a tire professional or refer to your vehicle's manual to ensure compatibility and safety.


What other tire sizes will fit 225 55 r17?

You can install 235/50-17 or 215/60-17 and that is about the only sizes you should use.

Yes, if you also change wheels.


Can you use 225 45 R17 offset 60 in Mazda6?

I need to know what size tires you have installed now to answer. Installing a tire with a different overall diameter will effect speedometer, handling, mileage, and performance. Use the link I will post to see what different size tires will do.


Can replace 225 60 R16 tires with 215 55 R17 tires?

Not without changing the wheels also. If you also change the wheels to 17 inch wheels then that is an acceptable swap.


Can we use 225 60 R17 instead of 225 65 R17?

You can but shouldn't. If you chose to do so, you would decrease the circumference of the wheel and therefore your top speed will be lower, but acceleration a bit higher. Your speedo will also read wrongly, but not by much, and it will overstate the speed. The real answer to this question comes from an understanding of what all the numbers mean. The 225 is the width of the tyre in mm. The 60 and 65 are the profile of the tyre, or the ratio of height / width. So, the height of the 60 tyre is 60% of the width, and the height of the 65 tyre is 65% of the width. The R means that its a steel radial tyre. The 17 means that it fits a 17 inch rim. The overall diameter of the 225/60R17 wheel and tyre combination will be 17 inches (431.8mm) plus 2 times 225 * 0.60 = 431.8 + 270 = 701.8 mm The overall diameter of the 225/65/R17 wheel and tyre combination will be 17 inches (431.8mm) plus 2 times 225 * 0.65 = 431.8 + 292.5 = 724.3 mm So, the answer in the first paragraph is correct. The explanation above is why. Only one more thing to add to the first paragraph. Using the 60 tyres instead of the 65 tyres will give you better braking performance. Or, in other words, your brakes will not have to work as hard to stop the vehicle, but you might be more likely to lock up the brakes, and skid. This is because the 'lever' length is shortened. i.e. The distance from the centre of the wheel to the road surface is reduced, by 22.5mm, so it easier for the brakes to stop the vehicle. This isn't a major problem, because you should get used to it relatively quickly. If you fit the 60 tyres instead of the 65 tyres, you will be travelling slower than your speedo indicates you are.
