About the 215/70R15 size
Minivan workhorse size, S/T rated with 98 load index. Buyers prioritize price and tread life; ST-metric trailer tires also share this size, do not mix them up. Classic side: 215/70R15 is the closest radial to E70-15 and F70-15, so it is what 1969 Z28 and 1968-1972 Corvette owners fit on the correct 15x7 Rally wheel. Raised-white-letter and redline versions are made. The 70-series ladder on a 15 in wheel goes F70-15 to 215/70R15, G70-15 to 225/70R15 and H70-15 to 235/70R15, so check which letter is on the build sheet before you order.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 215/70R15 tire is 215 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 70 percent of that (about 5.9 inches tall), and it mounts on a 15-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 26.9 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 97S on the Milestar MS775 (1,609 lb per tire, rated to 112 mph) and 98T on the General AltiMAX RT45 and Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max (1,653 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.
Our three picks, side by side
One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

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 a minivan in this size
Minivans are front-wheel drive with few exceptions, so under Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law, in force on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison from September 1 to May 31, the tires carry the burden: they must be marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer, with at least 3/16 inch of tread, and fines start at $130. The touring all-seasons that fit this size are almost all M+S rated. A loaded minivan is heavy and its nose is heavier still, so the front tires wear fast; check them before the first snow, because the law and the physics both care about the 3/16 inch left, not the tire's age.
None of our picks in this size, the General AltiMAX RT45 and Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 215/70R15 tires cost?
Expect $72–$87 per tire for a budget brand, $87–$108 for a mid-range tire like the General AltiMAX RT45, and $108–$177 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max. A set of four therefore starts at about $288. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 215/70R15 tires?
215/70R15 is original equipment on Dodge Grand Caravan (2001-2007), Chrysler Town & Country (2001-2007), Chevrolet Venture (1997-2005), Ford Windstar (1999-2003), Kia Sedona (2002-2005), Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (1969, E70-15 equivalent), Chevrolet Corvette C3 (1968-1972, F70-15 equivalent), Pontiac Firebird (1970-1976, 15 in) and Jaguar E-Type (1971-1974, Series 3 V12), 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 215/70R15 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the General AltiMAX RT45, 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 Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar MS775 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 215/70R15 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.
