Can you put 15 inch tires on a car that normally uses 16 inch tires?

Dec 04, 2009 by Jessica | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

My car currently has 16 inch tires and one of my neighbors is trying to tell me that I can put 15 inch tires on instead of 16 inch ones. He has a newer version of my car and has done the same thing. Is this possible?

Only if you put 15 inch wheels on there as well.

16 tires refers to the diameter of the wheel it fits on. So, if you have 15 tires, and 16 wheels, it's pretty obvious that it won't fit.

What REALLY matters is the actual dimension

Faulty tires prompt Beijing Hyundai to recall 60000 autos

06.02.26
Some of the vehicles to be recalled are equipped with faulty tires that were made by Kumho Tire in 2008 with the production batch number of C0 2208 and C0 4008. in 2010 with the batch number of C0 2410 and C0 2910 and in 2011 with the batch number of C0 0111. Kumho Tire failed to manufacture these recall-involved tires in strict accordance with its internal standards, using excessive recycled tires. in 2009 with the batch number of C0 0509 and C0 0909. 13, 2011 starting April 15, 2011, according to China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ). This will possibly erode the quality of the tires.
