Question:

225 tires or 235 tires?

My toyota truck (94) has 225/75/R15 tires on it now. Can I interchange that with 235/75R15 tires without causing any harm or damage or be unsafe? What is the difference between 225 and 235?

The difference of 225 to 235 is about an inch in height. What year Toyota? Does it have ABS? If it is older 80's early 90's more than likely you will be fine. The best way to do it is test fit one 235 on the front. Tighten it down and turn the sterring wheel lock to lock to make sure it does not rub on the inner fenders. Another way to do it is most tire shops, firestone, pepboys, have tire guides that will list what tire is factory size and optional sizes that will fit that truck.
A tire sized P235/75R15 105S (yes, all of that is important) is wider, taller (larger overall diameter) and has a higher load carrying capacity than the P225/75R15 102S tires specified for your truck. They will fit and it is doubtful you will have any clearance problems on your truck but your odometer and speedometer will be inaccurate.
This Site Might Help You. RE: Did they change my transmission fluid? I paid the local Acura dealership to change my transmission fluid at 60K, however, I have had a couple of oil change franchises state that I still need to have this done. That showed me the fluid on the dipstick placed on a white towelette. It appeared to be a rusty brown with a hint of purple. .
235 is a wider and taller tire (it is the measurement in millimeters) 75 is the profile (%) 15 is the rim diameter (Inches) you will have more grip with a wider tire, the only thing you need to watch for is rubbing (you should have no trouble on a truck, it's only a 10mm difference)
