										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Re: Change in tire aspect ratio affect speedometer? Quick answer: yes, but not much. Longer answer: <b>Overall diameter of the tire is</b> what will affect your gearing and speedometer. Changing just the aspect ratio will affect the diameter of the tire.</p>
<p>similarly, Can I use 235 tires instead of 225?</p>
<p>Are 225 and 235 Tires Interchangeable? <b>Yes</b>, they are. However, this is only possible if your car&#8217;s rims can accept the larger millimeter.</p>
<p>on the other hand, Can you change tire size without affecting speedometer?</p>
<p>Up-sizing, or installing a taller tire, will lead to a speedometer reading that is slower than your actual speed. &#8230; Changing the tire height <b>can alter</b> the speedometer reading because most vehicles measure speed within the transmission based off of tire revolutions.</p>
<p>also, Do bigger tires use more gas? For example, <b>larger tires decrease your fuel economy because they are heavier</b>, while smaller tires increase fuel efficiency. &#8230; Bigger tires also have a higher rolling resistance than smaller tires which means they require more resistance and effort to get them rolling.</p>
<p>How do you recalibrate a speedometer?</p>
<p>Press <b>and hold the calibration button located on the speedometer</b>, start the vehicle, and then release the button. Press that button again and then take the test drive. Once you have driven the distance needed, press the button once more and the speedometer will calibrate itself to accommodate the new tire size.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 235 55r17 instead of 225 65r17?</strong></h2>
<p>Yes. For safety reasons be sure that the replacement tires are rated for both load and speed at or above the specifications for your Vehicle. Be sure to replace the tires in pairs on either the front or rear axles. Failure to <b>do</b> so <b>could</b> cause problems.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 225 55r17 instead of 225 65r17?</strong></h2>
<p>The difference in the dimension of the two tyres is purely in the aspect ratio of the sidewall so the /65 tyres will have a bigger sidewall (note that the number is 65% of the width, not 65 somethings &#8211; i.e. 165.75mm vs 140.25mm and that&#8217;s effectively doubled because you&#8217;re taking radius, not diameter) and therefore &#8230;</p>
<h2><strong>Can I replace 235 tires with 245?</strong></h2>
<p>Expert Reply: You might be able to replace a 235/65-17 with a <b>245/65-17 tire</b>. The tires you have now, 235/65-17, are about 9.25 inches wide and 29 inches tall. &#8230; On vehicles, especially newer vehicles, there is very little space to go to a larger tire without making other modifications.</p>
<h2><strong>How much does it cost to recalibrate your speedometer?</strong></h2>
<p>In some speed related cases, this speedometer calibration can be very helpful. You can get it calibrated at almost any auto mechanic shop. The cost is usually <b>around $75</b>. Sometimes, charges can be reduced when it is clear that the speed was more comparable to a speeding charge than a reckless driving charge.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I fix my speedometer for different size tires?</strong></h2>
<p>Press the button again and drive the distance prescribed by the <b>speedometer</b> manufacturer. Press the button a third time after you have driven the designated distance. After pressing the button the third and final time, the speedometer will recalibrate itself to fit the new tire size.</p>
<h2><strong>Are 20 inch tires cheaper than 19?</strong></h2>
<p>There is a greater deman for 20&#8243; tires, hence the <b>reason they are cheaper than 19&#8243;</b>. I went through the same dilema in deciding betweeing 19 and 20&#8243; wheels. In the end i went with 19&#8243; because of the extra protection 19&#8243; tires gives than 20.</p>
<h2><strong>Do wider tires ride better?</strong></h2>
<p>As a general rule, <b>bigger wheels result</b> in a rougher ride. Switching to a smaller wheel and a thicker tire can give you a smoother ride without any major modifications to your car. &#8230; When changing the car&#8217;s original wheels and tires, the general rule of thumb is that you can go up or down by one inch.</p>
<h2><strong>How far off is my odometer with bigger tires?</strong></h2>
<p>1/8” tread wear on a 36-inch tire reduces the circumference by 0.8 inches. Over the length of 1 mile, this adds up to 33.6 feet. After “actually” traveling 157 miles, the odometer will be “off” <b>by 1 mile</b>. It will read 158 miles.</p>
<h2><strong>How much does it cost to recalibrate a speedometer?</strong></h2>
<p>In some speed related cases, this speedometer calibration can be very helpful. You can get it calibrated at almost any auto mechanic shop. The cost is usually <b>around $75</b>. Sometimes, charges can be reduced when it is clear that the speed was more comparable to a speeding charge than a reckless driving charge.</p>
<h2><strong>How much does it cost to fix a speedometer?</strong></h2>
<p>If you&#8217;re doing this with a mechanic, they will usually charge you around <b>$100 to $250</b>. Issues with your sensors or your actual speedometer do not cost much but, if the issue lies deeper and requires additional diagnostics, you can expect to pay between $200 and $400.</p>
<h2><strong>Will 235 65R17 fit 225 60R17?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Not safely</b>, no. If you go to a narrower tread width tire you will want to increase the sidewall height aspect ratio exponentially. The shorter sidewall 225/60R17 tire will not provide the needed load carrying capability needed for your vehicle.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you put different size tires on rims?</strong></h2>
<p>Wheels and tires are not interchangeable words. &#8230; For instance, your vehicle has a set size of rims, but you can buy different sizes of tires to fit those rims, <b>as long as the middle of the tires is the correct size</b>. That being said, a vehicle with bigger rims will often be able to fit larger tires than other vehicles.</p>
<h2><strong>What the numbers mean on a car tire?</strong></h2>
<p>The <b>two-digit number after the slash mark in a tire size is the aspect ratio</b>. For example, in a size P215/65 R15 tire, the 65 means that the height is equal to 65% of the tire&#8217;s width. The bigger the aspect ratio, the bigger the tire&#8217;s sidewall will be.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 215 60r17 instead of 225 55R17?</strong></h2>
<p>Registered. 215/60r17 and <b>225/60r17 should both work fine</b>. Your speedo will be off a little, but no big deal.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 215 60r17 instead of 215 65R17?</strong></h2>
<p>Yes, <b>there is no difference in rim size</b> for those size tires.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 215 60r17 instead of 215 55R17?</strong></h2>
<p>It won&#8217;t be a problem from a safety standpoint. The only difference you might see is a speedometer error. You will notice more difference from the tire construction than the tire size. Note that you cannot calculate tire diameters from the tire size.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between a 245 and a 235 tire?</strong></h2>
<p>A lot of vehicle owners are not experts in examining the different sizes of tires. &#8230; In selection width, there is <b>a -10 or -4% difference between 245 mm old tire</b> and 235 mm new tire. The circumference parameter, the difference between 2431 mm (old) and 2310 mm (new) is -121 mm or 5%.</p>
<h2><strong>Are 225 and 245 tires interchangeable?</strong></h2>
<p>A 245/75/16 is <b>taller</b> as well as wider than a 225/75/16. The height is calculated as 75% of 245 or 225. So a 205/50/15 tire the height would be calculated as 50% of 205mm . Some tires listed as the same size still have different dimensions however.</p>
<h2><strong>Is 245 A wide tire?</strong></h2>
<p>A 245 is 245 millimeters, or <b>24.5 centimeters, wide</b>. The tread width is actually somewhat smaller than the tire&#8217;s actual width.</p>

<p>similarly, Which tire is taller 70 or 75?</p>
<p>I think the <b>75 series tire</b> is roughly 1&#8243; taller than the 70 series&#8230;. so 1/2&#8243; more sidewall&#8230; not a lot of difference. The 75 definately &#8220;looks&#8221; better and might even get ya better mileage as you&#8217;re not turning as fast&#8230;.</p>

<h2><strong>How much taller is a 70 tire than a 60?</strong></h2>
<p>A 70 series tire sidewall height is 70 % of the tires tread width, a 60 series tire has a sidewall hight of <b>60% of</b> the tires tread width.</p>
<h2><strong>Are 70 or 65 tires taller?</strong></h2>
<p>The series number in a tire-numbering system refers to the aspect ratio of the tire&#8217;s sidewall height to its width. <b>A series 65 tire&#8217;s height is 65 percent of its width</b>, a series 70 tire&#8217;s height is 70 percent of its width and so on. These differences in height affect both performance and safety issues while driving.</p>
<h2><strong>How much does it cost to recalibrate your speedometer?</strong></h2>
<p>In some speed related cases, this speedometer calibration can be very helpful. You can get it calibrated at almost any auto mechanic shop. The cost is usually <b>around $75</b>. Sometimes, charges can be reduced when it is clear that the speed was more comparable to a speeding charge than a reckless driving charge.</p>
<h2><strong>How much does your speedometer change with bigger tires?</strong></h2>
<p>Each new tire has a circumference of 77.3 inches, which means it travels almost 10 inches farther with each complete revolution. This has a tremendous affect on your speedometer, which will now indicate a speed that is too slow by almost 13 percent.</p>
<h2><strong>Are 20 inch tires cheaper than 19?</strong></h2>
<p>There is a greater deman for 20&#8243; tires, hence the <b>reason they are cheaper than 19&#8243;</b>. I went through the same dilema in deciding betweeing 19 and 20&#8243; wheels. In the end i went with 19&#8243; because of the extra protection 19&#8243; tires gives than 20.</p>

<h2><strong>Are 265 tires bigger than 275?</strong></h2>
<p>Going from 265/70/17 to 275/70/17 isn&#8217;t a big deal. Depending on the specific dimensions of the tire, the <b>only difference will be 0.4&#8243; wider and 0.6&#8243; taller per tire</b>. The biggest difference is going to be going from a passenger rated tire to a light truck tire.</p>
<h2><strong>Which tire is wider 50 or 60?</strong></h2>
<p>The second number on a tire size refers to the aspect ratio: This is the ratio of its section height to its section width. The smaller the number, the shorter the sidewall and the wider the tire. In other words, a <b>50 series tire is shorter and wider than a 60</b>, even though they both might be 275&#8217;s or whatever.</p>
<h2><strong>How much taller is a 65 tire than a 60?</strong></h2>
<p>The 65% aspect ratio (as in 235/65/17), compared to 60%, adds almost <b>12 mm (1/2&#8243;)</b> to the radius of the tire (0.65-0.60)*(235mm)=11.75mm.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 235 55r17 instead of 225 65r17?</strong></h2>
<p>Yes. For safety reasons be sure that the replacement tires are rated for both load and speed at or above the specifications for your Vehicle. Be sure to replace the tires in pairs on either the front or rear axles. Failure to <b>do</b> so <b>could</b> cause problems.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 225 55r17 instead of 225 65r17?</strong></h2>
<p>The difference in the dimension of the two tyres is purely in the aspect ratio of the sidewall so the /65 tyres will have a bigger sidewall (note that the number is 65% of the width, not 65 somethings &#8211; i.e. 165.75mm vs 140.25mm and that&#8217;s effectively doubled because you&#8217;re taking radius, not diameter) and therefore &#8230;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are 225 and 235 Tires Interchangeable? <b>Yes</b>, they are. However, this is only possible if your car&#8217;s rims can accept the larger millimeter.</p>
<p>similarly, Can I use 215 tires instead of 225?</p>
<p>215 vs 225 Tires: The Sidewall Aspect Ratio</p>
<p> The aspect ratio of a tire is often referred to as the series or profile of a tire. &#8230; The 215 will likely have a <b>higher</b> aspect ratio than the 225 due to differences in their widths. This slight change in the ratio will affect the tire&#8217;s performance on the road.</p>
<p>on the other hand, Can I use 235 55r17 instead of 225 65r17?</p>
<p>Yes. For safety reasons be sure that the replacement tires are rated for both load and speed at or above the specifications for your Vehicle. Be sure to replace the tires in pairs on either the front or rear axles. Failure to <b>do</b> so <b>could</b> cause problems.</p>
<p>also, Can I use 225 55r17 instead of 225 65r17? The difference in the dimension of the two tyres is purely in the aspect ratio of the sidewall so the /65 tyres will have a bigger sidewall (note that the number is 65% of the width, not 65 somethings &#8211; i.e. 165.75mm vs 140.25mm and that&#8217;s effectively doubled because you&#8217;re taking radius, not diameter) and therefore &#8230;</p>
<p>Can I replace 235 tires with 245?</p>
<p>Expert Reply: You might be able to replace a 235/65-17 with a <b>245/65-17 tire</b>. The tires you have now, 235/65-17, are about 9.25 inches wide and 29 inches tall. &#8230; On vehicles, especially newer vehicles, there is very little space to go to a larger tire without making other modifications.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 215 65r16 instead of 225 60R16?</strong></h2>
<p>They&#8217;ll definitely fit alright&#8230; I even ran 215/60/16s (rather than standard 245/50/16s) on my factory 16&#215;8 Firebird wheels in the winter without a problem.</p>
<h2><strong>Do tire sizes have to be exact?</strong></h2>
<p>Width and diameter are the two factors that determine tire and rim compatibility. <b>For diameter you&#8217;ll need to be sure that your tires and wheels are an exact match</b>, e.g. a 215/65R17 tire will only fit on a 17&#8243; diameter wheel.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 215 50r17 instead of 225 50r17?</strong></h2>
<p>To be honest, the difference between the two are so slim you&#8217;re not going to notice any real advantages / differences. Your speedometer is going to be slightly off and you&#8217;re going to be paying more for the 225/15&#8217;s (larger tire, more rubber = increased price). The <b>choice is up to you</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Will 235 65R17 fit 225 60R17?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Not safely</b>, no. If you go to a narrower tread width tire you will want to increase the sidewall height aspect ratio exponentially. The shorter sidewall 225/60R17 tire will not provide the needed load carrying capability needed for your vehicle.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you put different size tires on rims?</strong></h2>
<p>Wheels and tires are not interchangeable words. &#8230; For instance, your vehicle has a set size of rims, but you can buy different sizes of tires to fit those rims, <b>as long as the middle of the tires is the correct size</b>. That being said, a vehicle with bigger rims will often be able to fit larger tires than other vehicles.</p>
<h2><strong>What the numbers mean on a car tire?</strong></h2>
<p>The <b>two-digit number after the slash mark in a tire size is the aspect ratio</b>. For example, in a size P215/65 R15 tire, the 65 means that the height is equal to 65% of the tire&#8217;s width. The bigger the aspect ratio, the bigger the tire&#8217;s sidewall will be.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 215 60r17 instead of 225 55R17?</strong></h2>
<p>Registered. 215/60r17 and <b>225/60r17 should both work fine</b>. Your speedo will be off a little, but no big deal.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 215 60r17 instead of 215 65R17?</strong></h2>
<p>Yes, <b>there is no difference in rim size</b> for those size tires.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 215 60r17 instead of 215 55R17?</strong></h2>
<p>It won&#8217;t be a problem from a safety standpoint. The only difference you might see is a speedometer error. You will notice more difference from the tire construction than the tire size. Note that you cannot calculate tire diameters from the tire size.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between a 245 and a 235 tire?</strong></h2>
<p>A lot of vehicle owners are not experts in examining the different sizes of tires. &#8230; In selection width, there is <b>a -10 or -4% difference between 245 mm old tire</b> and 235 mm new tire. The circumference parameter, the difference between 2431 mm (old) and 2310 mm (new) is -121 mm or 5%.</p>
<h2><strong>Are 225 and 245 tires interchangeable?</strong></h2>
<p>A 245/75/16 is <b>taller</b> as well as wider than a 225/75/16. The height is calculated as 75% of 245 or 225. So a 205/50/15 tire the height would be calculated as 50% of 205mm . Some tires listed as the same size still have different dimensions however.</p>
<h2><strong>Is 245 A wide tire?</strong></h2>
<p>A 245 is 245 millimeters, or <b>24.5 centimeters, wide</b>. The tread width is actually somewhat smaller than the tire&#8217;s actual width.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 225 instead 205?</strong></h2>
<p>Can you put 225 tires on your car if you have 205? &#8211; Quora. <b>Yes you can</b>, if they do not rub, it will also throw off your speedometer, it will read that you are going slower than you actually are. However it is very common for people to go to a tire that is one size larger.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I replace tire with different size?</strong></h2>
<p><b>It&#8217;s possible to change the size of your tires without actually changing the diameter</b>. &#8230; Generally, you don&#8217;t want to go with tires that have a diameter that is more than 3% different from the factory tires. It&#8217;s also a good idea to consult with a trusted mechanic before switching to larger or smaller tires.</p>
<h2><strong>What happens if you use the wrong tire size?</strong></h2>
<p>Choosing too tall of a tire can result in a <b>vehicle prone to rolling over</b>, a dangerous concern for any driver. Tall tires may also rub against the inside of the wheel well. While not immediately problematic, this rubbing can lead to steering issues over time.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 225 45R17 instead of 225 50R17?</strong></h2>
<p>Yeah there <b>shouldn</b>&#8216;t be a huge difference between 225/50 and 225/45 besides the sidewall being a little shorter (like . 3 inches or something). You would hardly notice it.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 225 45R17 instead of 215 45R17?</strong></h2>
<p>The <b>225/65R17</b> is one size larger and much taller and can carry more weight compared to the 215/55R17. The ride will be harsher as well as the aspect ratio is two sizes lower. The smaller tire will fit on the same rim.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 215 55R17 instead of 215 45R17?</strong></h2>
<p>A 215/55R16 or <b>205/55R16 tire</b> will work fine. The 215/55R16 tire is just a little larger diameter. Finding a diameter of around 25.0&#8243;-25.1&#8243; is ideal. Different brands &amp; tires will also make a difference, look for one that has a better ride and a very soft sidewall can help too like the Continental DWS.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 65% aspect ratio (as in 235/65/17), compared to 60%, adds almost <b>12 mm</b> (1/2&#8243;) to the radius of the tire (0.65-0.60)*(235mm)=11.75mm.</p>
<p>similarly, Are 65 tires wider than 70?</p>
<p>The main thing is that <b>the 70 is a little taller than the 65, width is the same</b>.</p>
<p>on the other hand, Which tire is wider 50 or 60?</p>
<p>The second number on a tire size refers to the aspect ratio: This is the ratio of its section height to its section width. The smaller the number, the shorter the sidewall and the wider the tire. In other words, a <b>50 series tire is shorter and wider than a 60</b>, even though they both might be 275&#8217;s or whatever.</p>
<p>also, Are 60 tires wider than 70? Generally speaking, <b>a 215-60 series tire is wider</b> and has a shorter sidewall then a 215-70 series tire would be and a 215-75 series tire would be taller and narrower then either the 70 series or the 60 series. The 215 designation would be the amount of weight the tire can carry at a given tire pressure.</p>
<p>Can I put 55 tires instead of 60?</p>
<p><b>Yes</b>&#8230;the wheel/tire combo has an overall diameter/circumference that should be maintained with 3% (+/-) the original spec. When you plus size wheels&#8230;the aspect ratio (height of the tire) decreases to compensate&#8230;and maintain the orig diameter/circumference.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 75 tires instead of 70?</strong></h2>
<p>I think the 75 series tire is <b>roughly 1&#8243; taller than</b> the 70 series&#8230;. so 1/2&#8243; more sidewall&#8230; not a lot of difference. The 75 definately &#8220;looks&#8221; better and might even get ya better mileage as you&#8217;re not turning as fast&#8230;.</p>
<h2><strong>Which tire is wider 245 or 265?</strong></h2>
<p><b>265mm is 20mm wider than the 245mm</b>. Even if you could &#8211; you will have to replace them all with the 265 &#8211; and then you don&#8217;t know if the wider tyres will hit the bodywork of you car.</p>
<h2><strong>What does 65 R mean on tires?</strong></h2>
<p>Aspect Ratio: 215/65 R15</p>
<p> “65” in the sequence is the aspect ratio of the tire. The aspect ratio is a percentage, and it tells you the ratio of the tire&#8217;s height to its width. In this example, the aspect ratio number “65” means that <b>the tire&#8217;s height is 65 percent of its width.</b></p>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between a 50 series tire and a 60 series tire?</strong></h2>
<p>Aspect ratio refers to the tire&#8217;s section height in relation to its section width, as a percentage. For example, a 60-series tire features a sidewall that is 60% as tall as the tire&#8217;s section width. A 50-series tire will feature a shorter sidewall, at <b>50% of section width</b>.</p>

<h2><strong>Can I use 205 60r16 instead of 205 55r16?</strong></h2>
<p><b>No it won&#8217;t</b>. The wheel radius is exactly the same, only the profile slightly different. The radius will be very slightly different. 205/55 will have a total radius of 519.15mm, while 205/60 will have a total radius of 529.4mm, so about 2% difference.</p>
<h2><strong>Which tire is taller 70 or 75?</strong></h2>
<p>I think the <b>75 series tire</b> is roughly 1&#8243; taller than the 70 series&#8230;. so 1/2&#8243; more sidewall&#8230; not a lot of difference. The 75 definately &#8220;looks&#8221; better and might even get ya better mileage as you&#8217;re not turning as fast&#8230;.</p>
<h2><strong>Are 265 tires bigger than 275?</strong></h2>
<p>Going from 265/70/17 to 275/70/17 isn&#8217;t a big deal. Depending on the specific dimensions of the tire, the <b>only difference will be 0.4&#8243; wider and 0.6&#8243; taller per tire</b>. The biggest difference is going to be going from a passenger rated tire to a light truck tire.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between 55 and 60 on a tire?</strong></h2>
<p>Going from a 60 to a 55 series IF the tire is the *SAME width will: 1: Cause the speedo to read faster, as a 55 has more revs per mile/km. 2: Cause increased ride harshness. 3: Result in increased wear= Vehicle.</p>
<h2><strong>Does tire size have to be exact?</strong></h2>
<p>Yes, the wheel usually has some information written on it, or it&#8217;ll be in the owner&#8217;s manual. <b>Wheels and tires must be of the same diameter&#8211;</b> e.g. only mount a 16&#8243; tire on a 16&#8243; wheel.</p>
<h2><strong>What does the 55 mean on a tire?</strong></h2>
<p>Aspect ratio</p>
<p> This refers to the profile height of the sidewall, or the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tread width. In our example, the 55 means that <b>the sidewall height is 55% of the 205-mm tread width</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Is a 60 series tire wider than a 70 series?</strong></h2>
<p>Generally speaking, <b>a 215-60 series tire is wider</b> and has a shorter sidewall then a 215-70 series tire would be and a 215-75 series tire would be taller and narrower then either the 70 series or the 60 series. The 215 designation would be the amount of weight the tire can carry at a given tire pressure.</p>
<h2><strong>What does the 70 r mean on a tire?</strong></h2>
<p>The number 235 is the cross-section width in millimeters, while 70 is the ratio of sidewall height to cross-section width (70 percent). R means <b>radial-ply construction</b> and 16 is the wheel diameter, in inches.</p>

<h2><strong>How much wider is a 275 tire than a 245?</strong></h2>
<p>275 width tires offer 1.2 more inches of contact area per tire &#8230; so <b>2.4&#8243; total more contact width</b> than a 245 &#8211; so it&#8217;s gotta give a bit more grip.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 235 tires instead of 225?</strong></h2>
<p>Are 225 and 235 Tires Interchangeable? <b>Yes</b>, they are. However, this is only possible if your car&#8217;s rims can accept the larger millimeter.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I use 225 tires instead of 215?</strong></h2>
<p>This slight change in the ratio will affect the tire&#8217;s performance on the road. In most cases, tires with lower aspect ratios respond to lateral forces more effectively than those tires with higher aspect ratios, so <b>225 tires will effectively respond to lateral force better than the 215 tires</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Are 60 or 70 tires wider?</strong></h2>
<p>Generally speaking, <b>a 215-60 series tire is wider</b> and has a shorter sidewall then a 215-70 series tire would be and a 215-75 series tire would be taller and narrower then either the 70 series or the 60 series. The 215 designation would be the amount of weight the tire can carry at a given tire pressure.</p>
