Half inch to one inch
Look on the side of the tire and you will see a set of number such as 195/50 17R. The first number, in this case 195, is the tread width in millimeters.
No, a 195/65 R15 and a 215/70 R15 tire are not interchangeable. The first number indicates the tire's width in millimeters, and the second number represents the aspect ratio, which is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width. The differences in width and aspect ratio result in different overall diameters and circumferences, which can affect vehicle handling, speedometer accuracy, and clearance in the wheel well. Always consult a tire professional before making any changes.

The difference between a 225/70 tire and a 215/75 tire lies in their width and aspect ratio. The first number represents the tire width in millimeters, so a 225 tire is wider than a 215 tire. The second number indicates the aspect ratio, which is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width; a 70 aspect ratio means the sidewall height is 70% of the width for the 225 tire, while a 75 aspect ratio means the height is 75% of the width for the 215 tire. This results in the 215/75 tire having a taller sidewall compared to the 225/70 tire.
Firstly, It depends on the width of your rim, a 195 is typically best suited to a 7" rim whereas a 215 is typically suited to an 8" rim. If 195 was the stock tire size then it is most likely a 7" rim and a 215 will fit width wise but will stick out more and may rub on your inner fenders if there isn't enough clearance. As for a 195/60 compared to a 215/ 60, the tire is around an inch larger in diameter which will cause your speedometer to need to be recalibrated. If you got a 215/55/15 it would only be .1 inch larger which would keep your speedometer readings nearly the same.
Shouldn't be a problem if the rim size is the same.
The width, by 10 mm
The key differences between 225/55R16 and 215/60R16 tires are their width, aspect ratio, and overall diameter. The first number indicates the tire's width in millimeters, so the 225 tire is wider than the 215 tire. The second number is the aspect ratio, which is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width; thus, the 55 aspect ratio means the sidewall is shorter than the 60 aspect ratio of the other tire. Overall, the 225/55R16 will have a lower profile and a slightly smaller overall diameter compared to the 215/60R16.
The tire size 215/75 R15 indicates the tire's dimensions and specifications. The "215" represents the tire's width in millimeters, while "75" is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 75% of the tire's width. The "R" stands for radial construction, which is the most common type of tire construction today, and "15" signifies the diameter of the wheel rim in inches that the tire is designed to fit.
No, you cannot directly substitute 215/65 R17 tires for 235/45 R17 tires, as they have different widths and aspect ratios. The first number indicates the tire's width in millimeters, while the second number represents the aspect ratio, or the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width. A 235 tire is wider and has a lower profile compared to a 215 tire. Switching between these sizes could affect handling, performance, and safety.
The 195's are a l skinner then the 215's across the tread and will cause damage to the sidewalk and eventually the tire will fail. It will also cause a tire to ware out
