What is the difference between 205 and 215 tire size?

What is the difference between 205 and 215 tire size?

The diameter of the 205 is 26.3 inches and for the 215 the diameter is 26.7 inches. That is 0.4 inches of difference meaning that it would raise the height of the trailer by 0.2 inches. This will not only help with the height but also help to prevent over heating which is why many trailer tires fail.

Can I put 205 tires on 225 rims?

Short answer, it will be fine. Long answer, it will be fine as long as the load rating is equal or higher capacity. Not many high load rated tires in those sizes, so probably ok. Tire sizes are metric, and are read as follows: 205(tread width in mm)/65(side wall ratio, so 65% of tread width)R15(rim 15 inch diameter).

Can different size tires fit on the same rim?

Wheels and tires are not interchangeable words. Tires are a part of the wheel setup. For instance, your vehicle has a set size of rims, but you can buy different sizes of tires to fit those rims, as long as the middle of the tires is the correct size.

What does the LT stand for on tires?

If a tire size reads, LT104/101S, the LT indicates that this tire is meant for Light Truck use. These tires are made for light-duty and heavy-duty pickup trucks (typically ½ ton, ¾ ton, or 1-ton load capacity), SUVs and vans.

Are LT tires better than P tires?

Usually, LT tires have deeper tread depths than their P-Metric counterparts. Officially, LT tires should always be replaced with LT tires. P-Metric tires are passenger tires that are better suited for on-road use. If a P-Metric tire size is chosen, the tires should be able to carry at least 1,238 pounds.
