About the 205/65R16 size
Camry/Sonata fleet size, H or T. Very high volume in the US and one of the cheapest 16-inch sizes for touring tires.
The numbers mean: 205 mm section width, sidewall height 65 % of that width, and a 16-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 26.5 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 205/65R16 tires cost?
Expect $69–$91 per tire for a budget brand, $91–$124 for a mid-range tire like the General AltiMAX RT45, and $124–$172 for a premium tire like the Continental ContiProContact. A set of four therefore starts at about $276. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 205/65R16 tires?
205/65R16 is original equipment on Toyota Camry (2012-2017, L/LE), Hyundai Sonata (2011-2019, GLS/SE), Kia Optima (2016-2020, LX) and Chevrolet Malibu (2016-2018, L/LS), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 205/65R16 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the General AltiMAX RT45, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Continental ContiProContact is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kelly Edge is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 205/65R16 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
