A friend of mines has tires with the number P235/75R15. My tires are 235/70R15. Will I be able to use these.
Yes those tires will be fine. 70 vs. 75 is very little difference.
these two tyres are of slightly differing sizes. they can be used, but just make sure that the same size tyres are on the same axle, front or rear. the difference is in the rolling diameter of the tyre, hence the /75R compared to /70R. it is a minor difference but different all the same
the only thing the others forgot to mention is that your speedo will be out a tiny bit due to the different diameter of the wheels. Won't be much, but probably worth checking
Yes, those tires will fit the rims you have. The issue with the side wall that someone mentioned means that there is a possibility it will rub. You'll probably find out if that is the case the first time you make a sharp turn.
The tires will fit your rims, but will be a little taller. if you want to know what those #'s and letters mean, the P indicates the tire is meant for normal passenger car or truck use. The 235 is the width of the tire, in mm, measured from one bead to the other at the point where the tire meets the rim. The 75 (or 70) is the height of the sidewall, expressed as a percentage of the tires width (235/75 means the height of the sidewall is 176.25mm) The R indicates that the tire is a radial, and the 15 means a 15 inch wheel. So go ahead and try the tires, just make sure to turn the wheels all the way in both directions to see if the tires hit anything BEFORE driving the car.
