About the 205/70R15 size
Small SUV and minivan size, S/T rated. Touring all-seasons for the minivans, light A/T or CUV tires for the CR-V and Forester.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 205/70R15 tire is 205 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 70 percent of that (about 5.6 inches tall), and it mounts on a 15-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 26.3 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.
In this size our picks are marked 95S on the Milestar MS775 (1,521 lb per tire, rated to 112 mph) and 96T on the Cooper Evolution Tour and Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus (1,565 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.
Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.

The same tires in neighboring sizes
The Milestar MS775, our budget pick here at $92.96, is also stocked in 215/70R15 ($105.96), 205/75R14 ($98.96) and 215/70R14 ($105.99). The Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus, our premium pick here at $125.96, is also stocked in 215/60R15 ($133.99), 205/60R16 ($152.96), 235/65R16 ($153.96) and 215/45R17 ($194.96). Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber.

Winter on an SUV in this size
Most SUVs in this size are all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which is enough to satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, as long as the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive version must instead be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Four driven wheels help you pull away, not stop: a heavy SUV on worn all-seasons needs much more road to brake on snow than the same vehicle on a tire with the 3PMSF symbol, so in the snow belt choose the tire, not just the drivetrain.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 205/70R15 tires cost?
Expect $66–$81 per tire for a budget brand, $81–$91 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper Evolution Tour, and $91–$130 for a premium tire like the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus. A set of four therefore starts at about $264. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 205/70R15 tires?
205/70R15 is original equipment on Honda CR-V (1997-2001), Subaru Forester (1998-2002), Toyota Sienna (1998-2003, CE) and Dodge Caravan (1996-2000), 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 205/70R15 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Evolution Tour, 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 Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar MS775 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 205/70R15 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.
