Can I put a different size tire on my car than what is on there now?

Answer by  worker76 (773)

Short answer is NO! The only way you could is IF all the tires are the same size. one larger or smaller wont work

Manufacturers recommend the same tire size for all four wheels in order to maintain proper wheel alignment. You can damage your axle if one tire is not the same size.

YES you can change the tire size as long as the new tire fits the old wheel. So if you had 265/70r17's on your Expedition, you could replace ALL of them with say, 285/70r17 to give the tire a bit more height/width.

There are some tire sizes that can be interchanged. However because of safety and vehicle performance issues professional advice should be part of the decision making process.

All tires on a car must be the same size. Different size tire will not fit on the rim. If you have all wheel drive it will ruin the car.

Yes you can but I would only drive far enough to get the right size tire replaced unless you are replacing all 4 otherwise it will drive funny.

Yes you can put u different sized tire, but you'd need to compensate with the size of the wheel-hub/rim.
