Can I put 225/60-16 on a 2007 Taurus that calls for 215/60-16 tires. Will I have to get speedometer adjusted. Thanks Henry

 

I have run HANKOOK HPW401 Snow tires all rear around on my 2000 Taurus since new. These were a P225/60/16 tire with no issues. I sold the car to my Son who just put on a new set of HANKOOK ICEBEAR 300 in P225/60/16. There isn't must difference between the two sizes. Your'e only talking about 10MM in width and height.
