Understanding the 205/60R16 size

In the size code 205/60R16, 205 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.1"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 123 mm. R16 means radial construction on a 16-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 25.7".

The load index 92 means each tire supports up to 1,389 lbs — about 5,556 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol W certifies the tire to 168 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 260 AA A. The treadwear grade of 260 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade AA measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $171.68 per tire, a full set of four costs $686.72. That is about 65% above the average of the 99 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range.
