About the 215/70R16 size
Taller compact-SUV size, mostly T or H. Sits between car and truck tires; light A/T patterns are available for Element and Compass owners.
The numbers mean: 215 mm section width, sidewall height 70 % of that width, and a 16-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 27.9 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 215/70R16 tires cost?
Expect $83–$99 per tire for a budget brand, $99–$139 for a mid-range tire like the Falken Ziex CT60 A/S, and $139–$203 for a premium tire like the Michelin Defender2. A set of four therefore starts at about $332. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 215/70R16 tires?
215/70R16 is original equipment on Toyota RAV4 (2001-2005), Nissan Rogue (2008-2013, S), Mitsubishi Outlander (2007-2013, ES), Honda Element (2003-2011) and Jeep Compass (2007-2017, Sport), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 215/70R16 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Falken Ziex CT60 A/S, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Michelin Defender2 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman iMove Gen 2 AS is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 215/70R16 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
