    I have a 2009 Tacoma running 215/70R-15 tires. A friend gave me a set of Konig CB-12/102 that fit 215/65-16. I asked their technical support if the CB-12/102's would fit my truck. They said NO.....

    Google this to see the dimensions of both tires > 215/65R-16 vs 215/70R-15 or > https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=215-65r16-215-70r15 > look at the overlay comparison!

    Seriously!!! less than 0.15" of an inch difference in Dia., 0.48" smaller circumference, yet SW height is 0.42 greater & they won't fit? In my humble opinion that's pure BS, and they are just trying to sell me another set of chains.

    Thanks Konig

    If I'm wrong, please tell me why.... I mean tire wear/manufacturing blah blah could create these differences. If anyone is interested in the email chain....

    A few.
    Did you try putting them on your tires? If they fit why not use them?
