Tire Question

[SlickSketcher]

blew out my passenger rear tire today on the freeway going about 75 mph. the current tires on there are P205 65 R15. my friend has a set of four P195 65 R15 brand new that he'll give to me if they fit. can anyone tell me for sure if they will definitely fit or not?

they'll work.

yep, it will work. Prolly wont even notice the diffrence. All the 205 vrs. 195 is the tread width. 205/195 is the width of the tread in millimeters. 10mm is not too much. If they are free, take em!!

what about 215 60 15?

[freakout]

The 195 will be a little shorter and thinner. Tire size works like this, 195 nominal width in milimeters. 65 is the aspect ratio meaning the tire is 65% of 195 tall. The 195 will be 6.5 milimeters shorter than the 205, the 215/60 will be 6 mm taller.
