Replacement tires
Over the weekend I pulled off my winter set of studded tires. Looks like this will be the summer to replace the original 215/55/16 tires on my 2009 Panel. Can I go to 225/55/16s? My winter tires are 225/60/16 and I don't want to run that size in the summer. Some time this summer they will hit the wear bars so it is time to start research into a new set a shoes. Thx, Bear

Since this is the third time this question has been asked in the last few weeks, I got to ask : Is something wrong with the search tool?
If there is, let me know please.
Why don't you want to run 225 60 X 16 in the summer? I am kind of surprised they don't rub on the front struts, I know that 215 60 X 16 get very close.
Tire size calculators are available by typing "tire size calculator" into any GoOgle search box. Here is one: https://tiresize.com/calculator/ Others have different features.
