What size tires will fit on a 1996 Chevy Astro van?

The 1996 Chevy Astro van came with several tire sizes depending on the trim level and options. You won't find a single definitive answer. To know for sure what will fit *your* Astro, you need to check the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb. This sticker will list the recommended tire size for your specific vehicle.

However, common tire sizes for the 1996 Chevy Astro van include:

* P225/75R15: This was a very common size.

* P235/75R15: Another frequently used size, potentially offering slightly wider track.

Important Considerations:

* Larger Tires: While you *might* be able to fit slightly larger tires, you risk rubbing against the wheel wells, affecting handling and potentially damaging your vehicle. You'd need to check for clearance carefully and possibly modify the suspension.

* Smaller Tires: Going smaller is generally safer, but might alter your speedometer's accuracy and affect your gearing.

Before changing tire sizes: Always consult a tire professional or your owner's manual. They can help you determine the correct size and ensure compatibility with your vehicle's specifications. Don't just rely on what others have done; your van's exact setup might differ.
