The value sweet spot: long mileage warranty, solid wet grip, sane price.

About the 215/75R15 size
Van and old Jeep size, S rated; also a common ST215/75R15 trailer size. Highway and light A/T tread. Classic side: this is the G78-15 equivalent, the half-ton pickup and CJ-5 size from the 1970s. Whitewalls are available and bias-ply 7.00-15 reproductions are sold for judged trucks; note the modest load index if the truck actually hauls.
The numbers mean: 215 mm section width, sidewall height 75 % of that width, and a 15-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 27.7 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 vehicles use 215/75R15 tires?
215/75R15 is original equipment on Chevrolet Astro (1995-2005), GMC Safari (1995-2005), Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006, Sport optional), Ford F-100 (1967-1979, G78-15 equivalent), Chevrolet C10 (1967-1972, G78-15 equivalent) and Jeep CJ-5 (1976-1983), 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 215/75R15 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S, 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 All Country A/T is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 215/75R15 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.
