Which Cars Use 185/65 R15?

The standard 15-inch size on many current superminis and small crossovers: Renault Clio Mk4, Peugeot 208 and 2008, Citroen C3, Volkswagen Polo Mk6, Hyundai i20, Kia Rio, Vauxhall Corsa E, Nissan Note and Juke on base wheels, Dacia Sandero and Logan and the Skoda Fabia Estate.

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 185/65 R15 Means

Read the size off the sidewall from left to right. 185 is the tread width in millimetres. 65 is the profile, the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, so on this tyre the sidewall is about 120 mm tall. R15 means radial construction on a 15-inch wheel. The overall diameter works out at roughly 622 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 185/65 R15

The codes after the size on this fitment are usually 88H, 88T and 92T XL. Load index is a table value (91 is 615 kg per tyre, 94 is 670 kg, 98 is 750 kg, 103 is 875 kg) and the speed letter is a maximum (H 130 mph, V 149, W 168, Y 186). Your car's minimums are on the door label; we match or exceed them, never the reverse. Heavier trims call for the XL load index and the higher pressures that go with it.

Good to know

What load index do 185/65 R15 tyres need on a 2008 or Juke? Small crossovers usually specify 92, which is the XL version. The door-jamb label is the reference; we check it by registration.

What to Watch For on This Size

A comfortable, forgiving size and one of the cheapest to replace. Load index is 88 on most fitments, with 92 XL on the small crossovers; the speed rating is H for most engines and T on some smaller ones. Dacia and Renault fitments often come with a sensible mid-range tyre from the factory and are worth keeping at that level.

Ask for a brand by name or ask us to choose; either way you see the EU label before you commit. The brand directory explains each name, and checked part worns are a fourth option in a common size like this one.
