215 R 15 100Q tyres OK for Terrano 2?

[schultz]

At the moment I have a set of 235 75 15 tyres fitted, but also have a set of partly used 215 R 15 which I am thinking of fitting, just to wear them out and get rid. Will they be appropriate for a 1998 Terrano 2 that does mainly road work pulling a horse trailer,
Thanks,
John

Stand one of your 215,s next to your 235,s and I expect it will be a tad smaller. (like shoes it depends on the brand)If so, you might find what you are saving on rubber, you are burning on fuel due to the motor running at a higher rpm. Should be rapid away from the lights though!
May be better to flog them to a Jimny owner.

Thanks Matt. I've put the full set of 215 s on. What it has done is get rid of the steering wheel judder at about 50 plus, that has been there since I got the car. That,despite of having had the wheels balanced ,tracking done, new tyres on front, hubs tightened.
Surprisingly it was the back wheels that were causing the judder, not the front, as I went for a run after I had changed only the rear and it was OK.
I think there has been a topic on this recently, but I couldn't find it.
