About the 205/60R13 size
A short-lived early-1980s performance size, factory fitment on the Shelby-era Chrysler L-body cars where it replaced 195/70R13 on a wider 13x6 wheel. There was never a bias-ply equivalent and there is no whitewall or redline version. Availability is the problem: outside the BFGoodrich Radial T/A, which is the only raised-white-letter 13 in tire still in production, you are down to Nankang and Federal. The original Goodyear Eagle GT was V-rated; most of what you can buy now is S or T rated, so it is worth checking the sidewall before a track day.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 205/60R13 tire is 205 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 60 percent of that (about 4.8 inches tall), and it mounts on a 13-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 86V on the Toyo Proxes R888R (1,168 lb per tire, rated to 149 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 205/60R13 tires cost?
Expect $85–$85 per tire for a budget brand, $85–$222 for a mid-range tire like the Toyo Proxes R888R, and $222–$222 for a premium tire like the BFGoodrich Radial T/A. A set of four therefore starts at about $340. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 205/60R13 tires?
205/60R13 is original equipment on Dodge Omni GLH (1984-1986) and Dodge Shelby Charger (1983-1987), 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 205/60R13 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Toyo Proxes R888R, 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 BFGoodrich Radial T/A is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Nankang CX-668 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 205/60R13 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.
