About the 185/60R14 size
Aveo-era economy size, T rated. Shrinking demand; a few touring all-seasons and winter tires remain.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 185/60R14 tire is 185 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 60 percent of that (about 4.4 inches tall), and it mounts on a 14-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 22.7 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.
In this size our picks are marked 82H on the Westlake RP18 and Nexen CP672 (1,047 lb per tire, rated to 130 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.
Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.
Our three picks, side by side
One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

What 185/60R14 tires cost across the whole range
Of the 88 tires listed in this size, 54 are in stock today. The lowest price is the Royal Black at $49.99, a 82H tire. The median is $69.46; a third of the tires cost $62.96 or less, and the top five percent start above $107.99. Those are per-tire prices before mounting and balancing, which adds $15 to $45 per tire at most shops, read from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.
The same tires in neighboring sizes
The Westlake RP18, our budget pick here at $57.99, is also stocked in 175/70R14 ($53.99), 195/70R14 ($67.96), 205/70R14 ($64.96) and 215/60R15 ($70.96). Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber.

Winter on a compact car in this size
Compact cars are nearly all front-wheel drive, and that is what the traction laws look at. In Colorado the Passenger Vehicle Traction Law applies on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison from September 1 to May 31: a two-wheel-drive car must be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer, with at least 3/16 inch of tread, and fines start at $130. Most all-season tires in this size are M+S rated, so the marking is usually there; the tread depth is what catches older tires. A light car on narrow tires actually does well in snow because the tire cuts down to the road instead of floating on it, so a dedicated winter set in this same size, swapped on in November, is the simplest upgrade if you live where it snows.
None of our picks in this size, the Westlake RP18 and Continental TrueContact Tour, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 185/60R14 tires cost?
Expect $50–$63 per tire for a budget brand, $63–$76 for a mid-range tire like the Nexen CP672, and $76–$108 for a premium tire like the Continental TrueContact Tour. A set of four therefore starts at about $200. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 185/60R14 tires?
185/60R14 is original equipment on Chevrolet Aveo (2004-2011), Pontiac G3 (2009) and Suzuki Swift+ (2004-2009), 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 185/60R14 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Nexen CP672, 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 185/60R14 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.
