Decal specs: P215/60R15
Rotten tire: P215/65R15 - 3.2% taller than factory
Proposed tire: P215/70R15 - 6.7% taller than factory, 3.5% taller than the rotten tire
It might fit, but it might rub. You will be driving the above percentages faster than the speedometer says you are going. Same goes for the odometer reading. Your brakes will have that much harder of a time as well.
Why do you want to go bigger?
