Question on tire sizing

Question

Can I use a P215/65R15 tire to replace a blown P215/70R15 tire on my minivan?

Answer 1

Just one?  Absolutely not.  Even all four I would say no.  A minivan is a fairly big vehicle often used to haul a lot of stuff - like loved ones.

A P215/65R15 95S tire has not only a smaller overall diameter than a P215/70R15 97S sized tire resulting in speedometer and odometer inaccuracy and reduced fuel mileage, but it also has a lower load carrying capacity - it can not support as much weight.  This could result in overloading the tire and its eventual failure (blowout).  If you mix tires of different sizes you can upset the ABS and Traction Control systems on the vehicle if so fitted, cause it to pull and possibly damage the transaxle.  

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

No they have to match or it will make the van drive bad>& on the front it will pull & the trans will have issue>As 1 tire will move faster than the other>
