Which Cars Use 215/60 R16?

A 16-inch size on large saloons, estates and people carriers: Volkswagen Passat B6 and B7, Skoda Superb Mk2, Toyota Avensis, Peugeot 508, Citroen C5, Hyundai i40, Volkswagen Sharan and SEAT Alhambra on base wheels, and the Toyota Camry.

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 215/60 R16 Means

215/60 R16 tells you three things and implies a fourth: a 215 mm wide tread, a sidewall 60 per cent as tall as that width (about 129 mm), a 16-inch wheel, and therefore an overall diameter of about 664 mm. The letters and numbers that follow on the sidewall (for example 95V) are the load index and speed rating, and they matter as much as the size itself.

Load and Speed Ratings on 215/60 R16

Expect to see 95V, 95H and 99V XL on tyres in this size. The load index and speed rating are legal minimums set by the car maker, not suggestions, and they differ between engines and trims of the same model, which is why we check by registration rather than by copying whatever is on the car now. XL versions carry a higher load index for heavier variants and are usually inflated to a higher pressure.

Good to know

Does a Sharan need XL 215/60 R16 tyres? Yes, seven-seat MPVs on this size usually specify 99, which means XL. We confirm by registration.

What to Watch For on This Size

A 95 load index with an H or V rating covers most saloons; the Sharan and Alhambra specify 99 XL. The 60 profile makes for a comfortable, quiet motorway car and a tyre that tolerates potholes well. High-mileage diesels on this size benefit from a touring pattern with a good rolling-resistance grade.

Brands Available in 215/60 R16

Well covered: Michelin Primacy and CrossClimate, Continental PremiumContact and EcoContact, Goodyear EfficientGrip, Bridgestone Turanza, Pirelli Cinturato, Hankook Ventus Prime, Kumho Ecsta, Nexen N'Fera, Uniroyal, Vredestein and the budget tier.

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.
