Currently have 225/ 65R17 tires is it possible to use 235/70R16 for winter tires?

Hello,

The 235/70R16 will be about half an inch taller than the 225/65R17. So that will work, but keep in mind it will create an error on the speedometer. It might read lower than your actual speed.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
