215/60R16 tires
215/60R16 is the 16-inch size of the mid-size sedan boom. It came on the 2007 to 2011 Toyota Camry in base, LE, XLE and Hybrid trim, the 2008 to 2012 Honda Accord LX, the Nissan Altima 2.5 S, the Hyundai Sonata GLS, the Volkswagen Passat S, the Ford Fusion S and the 16-inch Chevrolet Cruze. Below are real prices for 264 tires in stock, three picks with the specifications behind them, and the speed-rating detail that decides which version fits your car.
Yes, this fits your Honda Accord. 215/60R16 is the original size on the 2008-2012 Honda Accord.
The sticker inside the driver's door is still the final word, because trim and wheel package can change the size. Back to every Honda Accord size.

A commuter size where the lowest price is not the lowest cost
Most cars on this page are commuters that rack up 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year, so tread life matters more than anything else on the spec sheet. That is where the gap between our picks opens up: the budget Westlake carries a 45,000-mile warranty, the General 75,000 miles and the Continental 65,000 in its T-rated version. Divide the price by the warranted miles and the mid-range tire often costs less per mile than the lowest-priced one, even before you count one fewer set of mounting fees.
A 215/60R16 turns about 771 times per mile, and with its relatively tall sidewall it is forgiving over potholes. That makes it a sensible winter size too: many Camry and Accord owners with 17-inch alloys buy a second set of 16-inch steel wheels in this size for snow tires.
T or H: check before you order
In this size the same tire is often sold with two speed ratings. Our mid and premium picks are listed as 95T today, rated to 118 mph, while the budget Westlake is a 95H, rated to 130 mph. The rule on the door placard is simple: equal or higher than what it specifies is fine, lower is not. If your placard calls for H, choose an H-rated version of the General or Continental, which both exist in this size, rather than the T. If it says T, the T version is correct and usually carries the longer mileage warranty.
Older Camaros and Firebirds with the base V6, which used this size in the mid-nineties, are the exception on the list: check the sticker on those cars, since the later ones moved to 235/55R16.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 215/60R16 tire is 215 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 60 percent of that (about 5.1 inches tall), and it mounts on a 16-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 26.2 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 95H on the Westlake RP18 (1,521 lb per tire, rated to 130 mph) and 95T on the General AltiMAX RT45 and Continental ProContact TX (1,521 lb per tire, rated to 118 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.

Westlake RP18, $76.96. An inexpensive all-season touring tire made by ZC Rubber, sold here as a 95H. The 45,000-mile tread life warranty is the shortest of the three, so it makes the most sense on a second car or a car you plan to sell in a few years. A set costs $307.84 before mounting, $53.03 less per tire than the General.
General AltiMAX RT45, $129.99. General's long-life touring tire, made by the Continental group. The warranty is 75,000 miles for T and H speed ratings and 65,000 for V, which is generous for this price class. The version stocked today is a 95T tire; buy the H-rated one if your placard asks for H. Four come to $519.96.
Continental ProContact TX, $145.96. A quiet grand-touring tire with a silica compound for lower rolling resistance, sold under Continental's Total Confidence Plan. Mind the warranty split: 65,000 miles for S and T ratings, 55,000 for H. The listing here is a 95T tire, so the longer figure applies if your car accepts a T rating.
What 215/60R16 tires cost across the whole range
Of the 355 tires listed in this size, 264 are in stock today. The lowest price is the Forceum Octa at $68.96, a 99V tire.

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 Westlake RP18 and General AltiMAX RT45, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 215/60R16 tires cost?
Expect $69–$89 per tire for a budget brand, $89–$127 for a mid-range tire like the General AltiMAX RT45, and $127–$177 for a premium tire like the Continental ProContact TX. A set of four therefore starts at about $276. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 215/60R16 tires?
215/60R16 is original equipment on Toyota Camry (2007-2011, LE), Nissan Altima (2007-2018, 2.5 S), Honda Accord (2008-2012, LX), Hyundai Sonata (2006-2010, GLS), Volkswagen Passat (2012-2019, S), Ford Fusion (2013-2016, S), Chevrolet Cruze (2011-2015, LS/LT 16 in), Chevrolet Camaro (1993-2001, V6 base) and Pontiac Firebird (1993-2001, 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 215/60R16 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 Continental ProContact TX is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Westlake RP18 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 215/60R16 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.
