Can you put 21570R16 tires on a 1995 Buick LeSabre?

No, you likely cannot safely put 215/70R16 tires on a 1995 Buick LeSabre. While a 16-inch rim will fit (assuming your LeSabre came with 16" wheels, check your owner's manual to be sure), the 215/70R16 tire is significantly taller than the original equipment tires that were designed for that car.

This taller tire will change your speedometer's reading, affect your odometer accuracy, and potentially cause problems with your ABS system and other components. The larger diameter tire can also rub against the wheel wells, especially during turns or with a loaded car.

You need to consult your owner's manual or the sticker on your driver's side doorjamb to find the recommended tire size for your specific 1995 Buick LeSabre model. Sticking to the recommended size ensures optimal handling, braking, and fuel efficiency.
