About the 205/65R15 size
Mid-size sedan size of the early 2000s, S/T/H. Still a strong seller thanks to the Camry and Accord fleet.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 205/65R15 tire is 205 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 65 percent of that (about 5.2 inches tall), and it mounts on a 15-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 25.5 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 94V on the Milestar MS932 Sport (1,477 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph), 99T on the General AltiMAX RT45 (1,709 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph) and 94H on the Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus (1,477 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.

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 sedan in this size
Most sedans in this size are front-wheel drive, and that decides what the snow laws ask of the tires. On the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law runs from September 1 to May 31: a two-wheel-drive car needs 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. The touring all-seasons that dominate this size are almost all M+S rated. An all-wheel-drive sedan passes on the vehicle alone, but all-wheel drive only helps you accelerate; braking and cornering on snow come entirely from the tire, so an all-weather tire with the 3PMSF symbol is the better year-round answer in the snow belt.
None of our picks in this size, the General AltiMAX RT45, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 205/65R15 tires cost?
Expect $62–$76 per tire for a budget brand, $76–$94 for a mid-range tire like the General AltiMAX RT45, and $94–$145 for a premium tire like the Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus. A set of four therefore starts at about $248. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 205/65R15 tires?
205/65R15 is original equipment on Toyota Camry (2002-2006, LE), Honda Accord (2003-2007, LX), Chevrolet Malibu (2004-2007, base), Toyota Sienna (1998-2000), Mercedes-Benz 560SL (1986-1989, R107) and Ford Mustang (1994-1998, V6 base), 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 205/65R15 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 Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar MS932 Sport is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 205/65R15 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.
