ok i blew a tire on my van.

it is a 215/70r 15 so i dropped it off to get a new tire put on. i picked it up and it was in plastic bag and i threw it in my trunk (yeah i should have checked right then..)

i went to put it on this morning ad its a 225/70r 15


will that matter?

edit: i should say the rest of the tires are 215/70r 15

yes.. get that fixed

they should all be the same size...

furthermore i hope the rest of your tires were nearly new... its best to replace in a pair when they are damaged because of the tread differences

It will make the car handling "odd"

One of the tyres is ~14 mm taller than the others (diameter 696 mm instead of 682 mm)

ok thanks thats what i figured but wanted to make sure.

will take it back and complain. the rest of the tires are nearly new. i put 4 new on not to long ago. the sidewell was cut by a paice of wood so couldn't repair it.

So is the replacement the same make and model tire? It should be.
