I want to put 215/60-16 tires on my 2012 focus hatchback. Stock is 215/55-16, so the width will be the same but the tire will be just under an inch taller, .4 inches taller in radius.
Any body done this? I see the tallest tire alternative is a 255/50-16, but I don't want wider, just taller.
Any thoughts?
Thank You.

P255/50R16-----tire diameter: 26.04"
P215/60R16-----tire diameter: 26.16"
P215/55R16-----tire diameter: 25.31"
I don't know if this helps, but you can see the tire you want to put on is a little over 1/8" taller than the tallest alternative tire.
