Default Would this size work? 215/60/16 (stupid ques?)

I know this will probably be a stupid ques (so go easy on me ), but I was given almost brand new winter tires with rims that are 215/60/16 and wanted to know if I could use them on my S2000 over this winter? Believe they came off an Accord. I checked the fitting guide section, and since I don't see that configuration listed on there I'm assuming it won't work? Just wanted to confirm with the community before I get rid of them if they won't work.

You mean 205/60/16? Because they don't make 250/x/x tires that I am aware of

60 series would be really tall, are you just talking about fronts, rears, or all 4?

Updated the tire size. I was wrong on initial description. 215/60/16. That is the size. Is that compatible?

You could use them, just need to be more cautious and take them off as soon as it starts warming up again.

thanks! I appreciate the advice on this. What should I be looking out for though when having these on? I want to hold off putting them on until really needed, as this winter's been a mild one so far, but once they're on I know I'll take it easy on the car but wasn't sure what troubles I may run into?

Just be easy, the sidewalls are going to be a lot more mushy than you might be used to and you'll have less traction than stock (with the exception of being in actual snow). So drive like a grandma and you'll be fine. Brake early.
