Understanding the 215/60R16 size

In the size code 215/60R16, 215 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.5"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 129 mm. R16 means radial construction on a 16-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.2".

The load index 95 means each tire supports up to 1,521 lbs — about 6,084 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol V certifies the tire to 149 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

Price and value

At $94.70 per tire, a full set of four costs $378.80. That is about 12% below the average price of the 96 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $5.83 per 1,000 miles across the set.
