General Grabber AT2
The value sweet spot: long mileage warranty, solid wet grip, sane price.
Michelin Defender LTX M/S2
The strongest wet and snow braking and the longest tread life among what is stocked in this size. Worth it if you keep the car.

About the 205/75R15 size
Small-truck size in P-metric (S rated) and as ST205/75R15, the second most common trailer size. Do not put ST trailer tires on a vehicle. Classic side: this is the accepted radial for 6.70-15 and 7.75-15 bias-ply, which makes it the standard fit for a C1 or C2 Corvette and for downsized 1977-1985 GM full-size cars. Wide and narrow whitewalls are available from Coker and Diamond Back, and bias-ply 6.70-15 reproductions exist for judged cars.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 205/75R15 tire is 205 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 75 percent of that (about 6.1 inches tall), and it mounts on a 15-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 27.1 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.

What 205/75R15 tires cost across the whole range
Of the 38 tires listed in this size, 28 are in stock today. The lowest price is the Tornel Classic at $80.96, a 97S tire. The median is $103.47; a third of the tires cost $95.41 or less, and the top five percent start above $186.99. 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.
Winter on a pickup in this size
Four-wheel-drive pickups satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, on the vehicle alone, provided the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive truck, still common in work trims, must be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Nearly every all-terrain tire carries the M+S marking, and the better ones now also carry the 3PMSF symbol, which requires a tested level of snow traction rather than just a tread pattern. An unloaded pickup is light over its rear axle, so on snow the rear tires lose grip first; a few hundred pounds of ballast in the bed over the axle does as much as the tire choice.
None of our picks in this size, the Ironman All Country A/T, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions

Expect $81–$95 per tire for a budget brand, $95–$108 for a mid-range tire like the General Grabber AT2, and $108–$187 for a premium tire like the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. A set of four therefore starts at about $324. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 205/75R15 tires?
205/75R15 is original equipment on Chevrolet S-10 (1994-2004, 2WD base), GMC Sonoma (1994-2004, 2WD), Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006, SE), Ford Ranger (1993-1997, 2WD base), Chevrolet Corvette C1 (1955-1962, 6.70-15 radial fit), Chevrolet Corvette C2 (1963-1967, 7.75-15 radial fit), Ford Thunderbird (1955-1957), Chevrolet Impala (1977-1985), Chevrolet Caprice (1977-1990, base), Buick Riviera (1979-1985) and Cadillac Eldorado (1979-1985), 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 205/75R15 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the General Grabber AT2, 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 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman All Country A/T is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 205/75R15 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.
