Apr 25, 2010 ยท Wider will be noisier and less fuel efficient, worse in wet and snow. Shorter sidewall will give you quicker steering response, overall better handling, and rougher ride. A 225/55-16 will give you a shorter sidewall than a 215/60-16. A 225/50-17 or 235/45-18 will give you an even shorter sidewall, and will be closer in overall height. 285/35-R18 tires are 0.78 inches (19.7 mm) smaller in diameter than 225/60-R16 tires and the speedometer difference is 2.9% Jul 20, 2020 ยท 2016 i have purchased Skoda Yeti with ContiPremiumContact 2, size 215/60 R16 95H DOT AF5M D5R4, 1816. Tires have been in service only summer seasons. Last car service was 30th Aug. 2021. when I have noticed problem with tires. After approximately 30.000 km pieces of tire started to chip off. Jan 22, 2022 ยท 2021-01-02 - Please can you clarify the legal position on fitting these tyres for winter use, relative to sizing. Example: normal tyre is 225/50/R17 on alloys, but looking at a set of steel rims (for winter use only), that the dealer says will need to be R16, so the winter tyre size they recommended would be 215/60/R16. 205/60-R16 tires are 1.61 inches (41 mm) larger in diameter than 205/50-R16 tires and the speedometer difference is 6.3%.
215/55-R17 tires are 0.15 inches (3.9 mm) larger in diameter than 215/60-R16 tires and the speedometer difference is 0.6%.
