These sizes appear to have nearly the same diameter but the 215s are narrower. This makes them an interesting consideration for snow tires.

215s are mighty narrow for the weight and height of your truck. 235s would be the mnimum in my opinion.

I don't think you would notice that big of a difference from 245 to 215 on the same wheels.

On your 5-lugger, 215s make sense but his is 4WD
