About the 225/60R16 size
Full-size GM sedan size, H or T. Cheap, plentiful, and heavily bought for fleet and older cars; premium touring tires are the sweet spot.
The numbers mean: 225 mm section width, sidewall height 60 % of that width, and a 16-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 26.6 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 225/60R16 tires cost?
Expect $72–$91 per tire for a budget brand, $91–$120 for a mid-range tire like the General AltiMAX RT45, and $120–$179 for a premium tire like the Continental TrueContact Tour. A set of four therefore starts at about $288. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 225/60R16 tires?
225/60R16 is original equipment on Chevrolet Impala (2000-2013, LS), Buick LaCrosse (2005-2009), Pontiac Grand Prix (2004-2008), Subaru Outback (2000-2004), Ford Crown Victoria (1998-2002), Buick Regal (1997-2004), Ford Thunderbird (1987-1988, Turbo Coupe), Ford Thunderbird (1989-1995, Super Coupe) and Lincoln Mark VII (1984-1992, LSC), 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 225/60R16 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 TrueContact Tour is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Westlake RP18 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 225/60R16 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.
