Quick tire question
Found a good deal on some new tires
I currently run 4 205/55/r16 from the dealer The new tires are 2 205 and 2 215. 215's will fit in the rear correct?

http://www.csgnetwork.com/tireinfo4calc.html, you can use this to see how much different the rolling circumferences might be. What's the aspect ratio of the 215's?

You should not have a problem with the 215's in the rear. What is the brand of tire? Just make sure they are all the same tire.

What are the profiles of the 215s? Sure a 215 or 225 can work, but it depends on the profile to maintain the proper overall rolling diameter.

Exactly the same 2 michelin energy mxv4 plus 205/55r16 and 2 michelin energy mxv4 plus 215/55r16
I have 4 michelin energy mxv4 plus 205/55r16 on there right now. then my spare would even still be the same. I've had a bad luck year in tires. 2 nails in 2 sidewalls (different tires) and a bubble from a mysterious non curbing when my wife used the car. My luck in tires and curbs (and bad city streets commuting to Boston everyday) is the real reason I am still on 16s and not moved to 18s which would look so, so pretty!

Why not just get the same tires all the way around?

 No I found thes 4 tires on Craigslist for oh about $400 cheaper than tire rack. Just picked them up, they are brand freakin new... probably obtained by questionable means... but I didn't ask.
