Tires: tire sizes, nissan altima, tire sizes


Question
Hi,

I have a used Nissan Altima 2001, the tire sizes specified on the door is P205/60R15.
As I got this as a used car, the used car dealer installed used tires of size P215/65R15.
Please let me know if it is fine to drive with these tire sizes?

Thanks,
Viks.

Answer
Viks,

I’m sorry, but in order to answer your question, I need to know how big the fenderwells are on your vehicle.  The folks that measure that sort of thing think the information gives them a competitive advantage, so they don’t share.

I suggest you contact Discount Tire or Tire Rack.  They both do those sorts of measurements.
