Tires: Tire size, dodge grand caravan, tire failure

Question
Hi Barry, I have a Dodge Grand Caravan which has 225-65-16 tires and I'm looking for snow tires but finding it hard to get the exact same size. Could I use 215-60-16?
Cheers, Kevin  

Answer
Kevin,

Fortunately, you have one of those difficult fitments.  The only thing close is 215/70R16.

Do not use 215/60R16 as that is going down in load carrying capacity which increases the risk of a load related tire failure, which sometimes has tragic results.
