I need new tires! If my current tire size on my 2009 Kia Sorento is P245-70R16 can I get tires that are sized P265-70R17? How much difference would it make? Would they fit my car? Please help! My current tires are completely bald and it's winter in Kansas City.

No, that size tire will not work. The present rim size on your vehicle is 16". The tire you asked about is a 17" and will not work with your wheels. I recommend staying with the original size tire that came with the vehicle when it was new.

If you have other questions, let me know.
