I drive a Chevy Malibu and my friend has a Chevy S-10 (small pick up truck) he has winter tires that i want to buy. I checked the size of the tires and it does fit to my Malibu. He said, check with rims too if that would fit to your Malibu you can get them too. Are the rim sizes differ from tire size? Tires are attached to rims, and if the tires will fit to my car shouldn't the wheels that go along with it too?

Yes, my Malibu wheel has 5 holes in it and so does the S-10 wheel.

The Lug pattern should be not different. However the offset of the wheel could be different.. Are you changing tires and rims or just the tires... Both Rims will have the size stamped on the wheel. Since these are midsize cars and the both have 15" inch rims (diameter). They should fit.. Check the size rating stamped on the rims themselves first... You will have to take them to tire shop so they can dismount and mount then they will have to rebalance the wheels. (only if you are changing rims)
Good Luck

How long does it take for the tires to tear? Are we speaking approximately days? Weeks?? Months??? As a bike mechanic, my first inclination is that your brakes are misaligned and the pad is touching the tire fairly of the rim. the appropriate ingredient to do may be to look on the offending tire mutually because it somewhat is spinning (have a pal carry that area of the motorcycle up, mutually as you seem on the tire straight away on) and spin the wheel, seem at the place the brake pads are in relationship to the rim. Are they closer to the rim, or closer to the tire? Squeeze the brakes mutually as the wheel is spinning besides, and seem at the place the pad is going. returned, does it run too on the factor of the tire? next possibility may be a Pinch Flat, it somewhat is the place the tire is underinflated and once you hit some thing hard sufficient (like a decrease or a stone) and the tire pinches the tube between itself and the rim (there's a diverse 2 hollow development interior the tube such as the chew of a snake, subsequently the nickname "Snakebite Puncture"). this could particularly wreck your tires, in spite of the undeniable fact that it somewhat is greater consumer-friendly to wreck the tube or the wheel fairly, so i do no longer think of it somewhat is your situation. do no longer pay too lots interest to the posters above, they are bearing on mounting motor vehicle tires, fairly than motorcycle tires. a pair suggestion on a thank you to be certain your tire and tube setting up is as solid because it may be able to be.. a million) positioned a pair shakes of toddler powder into the tire and unfold it around only before putting the tube interior. this might avert the tube and tire from sticking mutually, which will reason sidewall blowouts if the tube gets overinflated. 2) Run your hand around the interior the rim (strip the tire thoroughly off the rim) and experience for tough areas or burr's interior the rim which will poke during the tire. 3) Do comparable to #2, yet with the tire itself. seem heavily on the bead (the section that seats into the rim) and notice in case you will locate/experience any steel coming via it. have you ever been paying for the same style and style of tire each and every time you replace it? if so, and you have checked the rim, and it somewhat is o.k., and the brakes are adjusted precise, then i might suspect your shop has a defective batch of tires. desire those help!

The Malibu depending on year usually uses a 15x6 wheel with 5x115.0mm bolt pattern and 40mm offset with a P215/60R15 93T or 93H sized tire.
The S10, again depending on year will have as its smallest option a 15x7-inch wheel with a 10mm offset on a 5x120.7mm bolt circle and P205/75R15 97S tires.
No you can not swap either the tires of wheels between these vehicles.

They might have different "offsets" meaning it won't or will fit due to the lug pattern. I'd call your local dealer or tire distributor to find out for sure
