Need Advice About Replacing A Single Tire On '99 Es300
Hi,
I am a new addition to the Lexus community as I just bought a '99 ES 300 earlier today.
I got a mechanic to do a buyer's check on the car before I bought it.
One of the suggestions was about a single tire being more worn than the other three and needing replacement.
The three main tires are Yokohama P205/65R15.
As it turns out, one of my friends has an unused Yokohama P215/60R15 from his '98 ES300.
So, my question to the knowledgable folks here is:
Can I put a P215/60R15 as a 4th tire when the 3 existing tires are P205/65R15?
Thanks a lot for your time and your help.

I would not do it. If you have a full size spare with the same size then you can use the spare and just keep the exchanged one as spare, even if the rim were different, just swap out the rims.
If you did not have a full size spare, I would recommand you get a single tire the same size and brand.

I would never replace just one tire unless the others were almost new. You should replace in pairs so that each axle has the same type and size of tire. Otherwise it may upset your handling.
