Can I Use 215 55 16 Tires On My Car When The Recommended Size Is 205 55 16?

Well yeah you can put those tires on there. The only difference that it will be is that the footprint will be a bit bigger but other than that it will fit. Oh and your speedometer will not change it will read the same. The other person who answer is wrong only because your not putting a taller tire your just getting a wider tire. Hope it helps

Your speedometer will in fact change because will the number does not change it is a taller tire because on a 205 55 tire the side wall size is 55% of the 205 so on a 215 55 tire the side wall will be 55 percent of 215. Hey guest before you make posts do your research!
