Which Cars Use 185/60 R15?

A very common supermini size: Toyota Yaris, Honda Jazz, Ford Fiesta Mk7, Vauxhall Corsa D and E, Renault Clio, Peugeot 207 and 208, Citroen C3, Skoda Fabia, Volkswagen Polo, Hyundai i20, Kia Rio, Mazda 2, Nissan Note and Micra.

If your car is on this list, check the sidewall anyway; if it is not, check the sidewall anyway. Trims and wheel options vary, and the door label settles it.

What 185/60 R15 Means

Read the size off the sidewall from left to right. 185 is the tread width in millimetres. 60 is the profile, the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, so on this tyre the sidewall is about 111 mm tall. R15 means radial construction on a 15-inch wheel. The overall diameter works out at roughly 603 mm, which is the figure your speedometer and gearing are calibrated for and the reason you cannot swap freely to a "close" size.

Load and Speed Ratings on 185/60 R15

Markings on this size run to 84H, 84T and 88H XL. Read them as a floor set by the manufacturer for your car: at least this much load capacity, at least this speed capability. Above is fine; below is not. Where the label calls for the higher load index that means an XL tyre, and the pressures on the label go with it. Ask us and we will read the requirement off your registration.

Good to know

What is the cheapest safe tyre in 185/60 R15? We show you the EU label for the budget options in stock and the nearest mid-range alternative; the price gap is usually small in this size, and a strong wet-grip grade is worth it on a light car.

What to Watch For on This Size

A sensible, comfortable size that is cheap to replace and rarely damaged by potholes. Most fitments need an H rating with an 84 load index; T is only correct where the handbook says so. Because the cars are light and the tyres small, a premium tyre in this size is not expensive, and the wet-braking difference over a budget one is worth having on a first car or a school-run car.

Brands Available in 185/60 R15

Everything is available: Michelin Energy Saver and CrossClimate, Continental EcoContact, Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact, Bridgestone Turanza, Hankook Kinergy, Kumho Ecowing, Nexen N'Blue, Uniroyal RainExpert and the budget brands.

Each brand has its own page explaining who makes it and who it suits; the full brand list is tiered honestly. On the phone we quote two or three options in your size with the EU label for each, so you can weigh wet grip and noise against price.
