About the 215/70R15 size
Minivan workhorse size, S/T rated with 98 load index. Buyers prioritize price and tread life; ST-metric trailer tires also share this size, do not mix them up. Classic side: 215/70R15 is the closest radial to E70-15 and F70-15, so it is what 1969 Z28 and 1968-1972 Corvette owners fit on the correct 15x7 Rally wheel. Raised-white-letter and redline versions are made. The 70-series ladder on a 15 in wheel goes F70-15 to 215/70R15, G70-15 to 225/70R15 and H70-15 to 235/70R15, so check which letter is on the build sheet before you order.
The numbers mean: 215 mm section width, sidewall height 70 % of that width, and a 15-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 26.9 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.

What is the best 215/70R15 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the General AltiMAX RT45, 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 Defender LTX M/S2 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 215/70R15 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.
