Tire sizing question
I need to buy new tires, but the Michelin greenX tires I want are available only in sizes 215/65-r16 or 225/60-r16
which size would work in place of the 215/60 -r60 called for.
here is a link to what i'm looking at:

you guys are more knowledgable about tires that I am, so any assistance would be helpful
thanks

Re: Tire sizing question
Michelin says the "HydroEdge with Green X" are 'Passenger' tires which means they are designed to be used on passenger cars, not on a 'Light Truck/SUV'. (?)
Which is probably why the OEM size, 235/70 R16, is not available. If you really want the HydroEdge you might have to go to 17" wheels.
