Can you use 235 tires instead of 245?
Expert Reply: You might be able to replace a 235/65-17 with a 245/65-17 tire. The tires you have now, 235/65-17, are about 9.25 inches wide and 29 inches tall. On vehicles, especially newer vehicles, there is very little space to go to a larger tire without making other modifications.
What’s the difference between 235 and 245?
The 245 features a 42mm case, while the 235 has a larger 45mm case. The 235 is actually slimmer than the 245, but it’s hardly noticeable. The circular screens are essentially the same size and use the same transflective display technology to offer strong visibility without sapping battery life.
What happens if you increase TYRE size?
The wider tyres with more traction might reduce the car’s top speed. Acceleration might be affected due to the increase in weight and greater traction. This will affect the vehicle’s fuel economy. If you prefer lighter steering, think twice since you’ll need to put in more steering effort.
Is it good to upgrade TYRE size?
Upgrading to larger tyres, or tyre upsizing, has several advantages – it improves the car’s handling and cornering abilities, and offers better stability. Off-road vehicles use bigger tyres to gain some ground clearance and improve the footprint, thereby providing better grip.

Can I fit 17 inch tires instead of 16?
When changing the car’s original wheels and tires, the general rule of thumb is that you can go up or down by one inch. For example, if your car is currently riding on 17-in wheels, you can reduce the size to 16 inches.
