What 225/70 R15C means
- 225: the tyre is 225 mm wide, measured across the sidewalls.
- 70: the sidewall height is 70% of the width, so 225 × 70% = 157.5 mm.
- R: radial construction.
- 15: it fits a 15-inch wheel. Overall diameter is 15 × 25.4 mm plus two sidewalls: 696 mm.
- C: commercial. A C tyre has a reinforced construction for van loads and carries two load numbers, for single and twin rear wheels.
The load index and speed rating follow the size on the sidewall (two load numbers and a letter on a C tyre). Replace like for like or higher, as your handbook states.
Vans that use 225/70 R15C

What to look for in a 225/70 R15C tyre
- Load rating first. A van tyre must match or beat the load index on the old one (both numbers), and C tyres run at higher pressures than car tyres: use the figure for your van's load, not a car's.
- Winter or all-season. If you want winter or all-season tyres in 225/70 R15C, the live list shows what is made in this size today; not every pattern is made in every size.

Frequently asked questions
What does the C in 225/70 R15C mean?
C stands for commercial. A 225/70 R15C tyre is built for van loads and carries two load index numbers, one for single and one for twin rear wheels, and it usually runs at a higher pressure than a car tyre. Replace it with another C tyre with at least the same load index.
Can I fit 225/65 R16C instead of 225/70 R15C?
Only if 225/65 R16C is listed for your car. On paper it is 698.9 mm tall against 696 mm for 225/70 R15C, a 0.4% difference, so the speedometer would barely change. It also needs a 16-inch wheel instead of a 15-inch one. Wheel width, arch clearance, load index and speed rating must suit the car too, so check the handbook or the door placard, and fit one size across an axle.
How tall is a 225/70 R15C tyre?
About 696 mm (27.4 inches) across when new and unloaded: the 15-inch rim (381 mm) plus two sidewalls of 157.5 mm, which is 70% of the 225 mm width. Real tyres differ by a few millimetres between brands and patterns.
Which vans use 225/70 R15C tyres?
Fitment listings give 225/70 R15C for the Citroen Relay (Jumper outside UK), Fiat Ducato and Peugeot Boxer. One model can use several sizes depending on its wheels, so check the sidewall of your own tyres before you book.
