Default Tire Questions

Hello, I have a 2006 Santa Fe 2.7 ltr with stock P225/70 R16's and I'm wondering if I can get away with mounting P205/60 R16's on the same rims?
Forgot to mention the replacement tires (P205/60 R16's) are rated 91H.
TY

I am not certain but it sounds like the replacement tires would be too small and not seat properly on the rims?????
Check with a tire store. Just call them up and ask if you can do that.
225 is the measure of the width of the tire. You want to use 205 which is 20 mm smaller
70 is the ratio of the width to the height of the tire
R16 means the tire fits onto rim size 16 inches
