Look at the sticker on the drivers side or passenger side door and you will see the manufacture recommended allowed tire size on your stock rims.

SOURCE: tire size for a 96 cavalier

The factory recommended tire size is usually on a sticker on the drivers side door post and in the owners manual. This will keep the speedo calibration correct. If you are customizing the car then you need to go to a tire shop and work with them to determine what sizes will do what you want. You can buy different tire size rims with various offsets that allow for larger tires to be put on a vehicle. Hope this helps, RAC

SOURCE: 1996 chevy blazer tire size

stock is generally the 235/75r15, but if you can find someone to install them or do it yourself easily be able to run 31x10r15 for a little meatier look, this would involve a slight trim of the front skirt edge on some models or depending on your suspension. Any tire shop would easily be able to tell you stock tires or what would fit, but most major retailers (walmart, fleetfarm) will not install ANY tire not listed as factory. so you would have to find a private shop then.

Can I put 235/60R16 on 2008 chevy uplander

The stock wheel and tire is ;
wheel - 17 x 6.5 inches
TIRE - 225 60 17 702 mm diameter

If you wanted a 235 60 17 that would be ok but the tire diameter is larger by a small margin.

If you are reducing wheel size with 16 inch wheels in order to fit the 16 inch tires mentioned in your question you better make sure that the smaller diameter wheel will clear the brakes front and rear.

For a 235 tire the wheel width will need to be 6.5 inches minimum.

So if you go with ...............
wheel- 16 x 6.5 or 16 x 7 inch
TIRE - 235 60 16(as in your question)- 688 mm diameter

Provided the 16 inch wheel clears the brakes that would be OK but that tire is slightly smaller in diameter than stock but within an acceptable margin.

Make sure whatever tire you select that the tire load rating is not less than the stock tire and not less than the tire load rating stipulated by General Motors for that vehicle..

I want a wider tire,what would be best ?? On a 03/buick century

The stock wheels are 15 x 6 inches so you are quite limited on tire choices unless you go to a larger wheel such as a 17 x 8 inch.

With the 15 x 6 inch wheels the best option is 225 - 60 -15 but this will give you a slightly lower rolling diameter than the original stock tires at 205 70 15. The 225 is a good width for that car though and 225 60 15 is an approved size on a 6 inch wheel.

Can I replace stock 215/55R16 tires with 215/60R16 tires

The stock tire has a diameter of 25.3" the other tire has a diameter of 26.2"

While I recommend not deviating from the stock tire size 1" should not make that much of a difference.

Remember, the suspension, brakes, abs, traction control, and general safety are all designed to be most beneficial using the stock tire size. Using a different size tire can affect all of these things.

Wrong tire size?

P designates a tire for a passenger car, 225 is the width of the tire in mm, 75 is the ratio of sidewall height to the width (eg thesidewalls are 225*0.75=168.75 mm tall), R is the type of tire (radial), and 16 is the diameter of the tire in inches. Customizing the tires gives you different performance results.

If you want your car to act according to how the manufacturer specified, go back to the stock tires. However, your current tires have a larger diameter than the stock, which means your rims are also larger than stock; you would probably have to replace the rims as well, which can be expensive.

I would stick with your new sizes. Different sized tires will not harm your vehicle in any way. I would also recommend going to a store that offers lifetime warranties like Les Schwab; they are invested in insuring that that everything is fitting correctly so they don't have to refund you anything.

I changed the wheels from stock to 24

Changing tires from the OEM size will cause this,and many other problems as well. Such as steering and handling. You will also be driving faster than your speedometer say`s.Shocks and struts and all the suspension parts will wear faster.Maybe the dealer could remove that display.

Can you change the tyre size set up on a bmw x5 without any issues

Yes and no. Yes you can change the tire size and go up. Your car is equipped with 225/50-17 if I am not mistaken. What you need to be concerned with it not increasing or decreasing the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combination. The diameter of you wheel/tire is 25.9". If you go to a larger or smaller diameter tire you speedometer and odometer will be off. To check the sizes and how they effect the diameter go to this site. Put your OEM size in and then check different sizes and how they effect diameter. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html You can on some cars, for a fee, have the ECU reprogrammed for a larger tire by the dealer. Contact your BMW dealer to find out.

Speedometer appears to register 15 miles less than actual speed

If you have replaced your stock size tires with oversize aftermarket tires and wheels (17 inch stock wheels to 22 inch wheels, etc) you need to have the computer reflashed to compensate for the larger tire size. Larger tires turn slower to maintain the same groundspeed, giving a false speed reading.

Tire size change

Yes you can - they're very close to the rolling diameter of the stock size (at an indicated 60mph, you'll be going something like 60.3mph). This will also keep your odometer within calibration.

I've been running that size on my A4 for several months now (I also had the same OEM tire size as you), and everything is perfect.
