Tire Experts??...Need Advice
Hey CL family, just need some input on tire sizes. I have a 2001 ES300 with 206/60R16 tires and I am looking at some new or used summer / all season tires but I would like to know if these other sizes have been driven on anybody's cars and if the clearance was ok:
215/55R16 or
215/60R16
It just gives me some more options to look at when searching for new and used. I don't have the expertise to know what is safe or not. Thank you for the help as always CL.

215/55/16 is identical (or very close to it) to OEM sizing.
That's what my old winter tires were for a few seasons... Got a better deal on those than the 205's.
They fit fine.
The 215/60/16 is too big, it will rub with passengers in the back... Again, car came with those for me when it came into the family...
