Is it possible to change tyre size?

Hello Paul, my car, a Toyota Noah Town Ace 1999 model, currently wears 205/65 R15. Is it possible to change the size of the tyres for a bigger, more raised size? Eli.

Hello Eli, the tyre size 205/65 R15 is the biggest you ought to fit to your Toyota Noah. A bigger and higher tyre will not fit well or may make contact with your front suspension or wheel arch. Toyota recommends a smaller but higher tyre size 195/65/ R16 as an altenative and its displayed on the A post of the driver door or inside the fuel flap.
This tyre size has a narrower but slightly higher profile which will suit your need to raise the car profile safely within Toyota’s suspension, car dynamics and safety design. A professional car tyre dealer can help to calculate a tyre aspect ratio which will meet your needs.
It is useful to note that narrower tyres reduce the car stability and road holding during high speed manouvering. However if your Noah is regularly used as a city commuter on some uneven suburban roads then the need for higher ground clearance outweighs stability during high speed driving. My recommendation is that you stick to the manufacturer’s recommended tyre size alternatives.
