Tires

Hello all. I have another question about a car other than a Grand Prix. I know this is the Grand Prix forum, but all the other forums seem to be pretty dead. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew if a P215/75/R16 tire would fit on a '99 Olds Intrigue. I believe the factory size is P215/60/R16. Thanks in advance.

Yes they will fit.

Incorrect. They wont even come close to fitting.

215/60/16 are 26.16" tall
215/75/16 are 28.70" tall

GregGP, if I've mis-infomed you, I apologize, but i'd swear I've seen them mounted on a Intrigue before. Maybe not!

They may rub on the strut or fenderwell. like stealth said they probably will not fit.

I didn't think they would. Thanks guys!

For those that wish they had the magic decoder ring to figure this out, read on.

215 = width of tire in millimeters
60 = height of tire from tread to bead, as a percentage of the width. In this case 60%, or 215 x .6 = 129 mm = 5.08 inches
16 = diameter of wheel, in inches

Total height = 5.08 + 16 + 5.08 = 26.16"
