About the 205/60R14 size
Factory size on the last of the first-generation RX-7s (GSL-SE, 14x5.5 aluminum) and the 1983-1984 Mustang GT, and by far the most common 14x6/14x7 upgrade for a 240Z that came on 175HR14 steel wheels. The Radial T/A is the one raised-white-letter option; everything else is a plain blackwall. No whitewall, no redline, no bias equivalent. Load index is only around 86, so this is a light-car size, not something to carry a loaded early Z on.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 205/60R14 tire is 205 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 60 percent of that (about 4.8 inches tall), and it mounts on a 14-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 23.7 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.
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 205/60R14 tires cost?
Expect $71–$89 per tire for a budget brand, $89–$90 for a mid-range tire like the Federal Super Steel 595, and $90–$98 for a premium tire like the BFGoodrich Radial T/A. A set of four therefore starts at about $284. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 205/60R14 tires?
205/60R14 is original equipment on Mazda RX-7 (1984-1985, GSL-SE) and Datsun 240Z (1970-1973, 14x6 upgrade fit), 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 205/60R14 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Federal Super Steel 595, 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 205/60R14 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.
