Default Optional tire size for 06 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT

The stock tires on my van are 215/65-16. The options for tires are limited in this size.

The tires I want only come in 215/60-16. Will these fit my van?

I want a Grand Touring tire because I want to offset some of the body roll and happens during cornering. It's a minivan so I expect a certain amount of lean in corners but I can minimize it with these tires.

I'm trying to decide between a Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus and a Continental PureContact.

Yes they will fit, but your speedometer will be off by about 3% on the low side, for example; if you are driving 60 mph your speedometer will read about 58 mph.

The original tires are 27" diameter while the alternate size tires are 26.16" diameter.
