About the 235/60R15 size
Two very different cars meet in this size. It was the factory tire on the 1982-1987 Camaro Z28 and Trans Am (P235/60R15 Goodyear Eagle GT) and the rear of the DeLorean's staggered set, and it is also the accepted radial for E60-15, the front tire on a 1970 Challenger T/A and an AAR Cuda. Those cars ran G60-15 at the rear: a measured G60-15 is 26.6 in tall, so 245/60R15 is the dimensional match and 275/60R15 is the wider modern rear most restorers actually fit. Raised white letters are standard, a redline is a Diamond Back conversion, and Coker sells bias E60-15 reproductions. Diameter is 26.1 in, so it is noticeably shorter than the 70-series tires on the same wheel and it will read fast on an unmodified speedometer. Ratings are S to H, under the original V. Note on price: the tires listed here are the period-correct ones, with raised white letters or a classic tread, and they are priced accordingly. A plain modern radial in the same size, where one is still made, is usually cheaper and fits the car just as well. Check both before you decide; the look is what you are paying the difference for.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 235/60R15 tire is 235 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 60 percent of that (about 5.6 inches tall), and it mounts on a 15-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 26.1 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.
In this size our picks are marked 98T on the Milestar Streetsteel and Cooper Cobra Radial G/T (1,653 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph) and 98S on the BFGoodrich Radial T/A (1,653 lb per tire, rated to 112 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 235/60R15 tires cost?
Expect $133–$143 per tire for a budget brand, $143–$185 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T, and $185–$273 for a premium tire like the BFGoodrich Radial T/A. A set of four therefore starts at about $532. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 235/60R15 tires?
235/60R15 is original equipment on Chevrolet Camaro Z28 (1982-1987), Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (1982-1986), Dodge Challenger T/A (1970, E60-15 front), Plymouth AAR Cuda (1970, E60-15 front) and DeLorean DMC-12 (1981-1983, rear), 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 235/60R15 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T, 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 Milestar Streetsteel is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 235/60R15 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.
