2014 Mazda3 GS tire size

[burhan37]

Hello guys, can anyone please help to figure out the tire size for my 2014 Mazda3 sedan GS, I want to put on new set of winter tires, I am gettting a good deal on it but only problem is that the tire size they have is 215/60 R16 and the factory tire size is 205/60 R16. Would it be okay to go with 215 instead of 205?

Yes, it will be okay. The 215 size will make no difference on your ride handling or feel. On stock suspension it will be more than okay.

Thank you bro.

there's a small difference... the 215 have a larger overall diameter, and will result in a 1.8% slower speedometer
there's no ideal... going with a lower profile (215/55-16) will result in the speedometer 1.5% too fast
