195/60R15 Tires
On a 195/60R15 tire, 195 is the section width in millimetres. 60 is the aspect ratio: the sidewall stands 60% of that width, or 117 mm tall. The R means radial construction. 15 is the wheel diameter in inches — 381 mm. Add two sidewalls to that rim and the tire measures about 615 mm across, or 24.2 inches.

195/60R15 — frequently asked questions
What do the numbers in 195/60R15 mean?
On a 195/60R15 tire, 195 is the section width in millimetres. 60 is the aspect ratio: the sidewall stands 60% of that width, or 117 mm tall. The R means radial construction. 15 is the wheel diameter in inches — 381 mm. Add two sidewalls to that rim and the tire measures about 615 mm across, or 24.2 inches.
How else is 195/60R15 written?
195/60R15 is also written 195 60 15, 1956015 or 195-60-15, and on a P-metric sidewall as P195/60R15. Some high-performance fitments stamp it 195/60ZR15 — the ZR there is a speed-rating marking, not a different size. All of them describe the same section width, aspect ratio and rim diameter, and any of them typed into our search lands on this page.
Which load index and speed rating should I pick for 195/60R15?
The 195/60R15 tires we have in stock run load index 88–92 (560–630 kg) with speed rating T, H, V (190–240 km/h). Match or beat the two figures on your vehicle's tire placard — usually on the driver's door jamb, sometimes inside the fuel filler flap. Going below the placard's load index or speed rating is unsafe; going above it is fine.
Can I fit a different size instead of 195/60R15?
Stay with the size on your placard unless a tire professional has signed off on an alternative. A workable substitute keeps the overall diameter within roughly 3% of 615 mm, carries at least the same load index and speed rating, suits the rim width you actually have, and clears the suspension and bodywork at full lock. Speedometer, odometer, ABS and stability control all calibrate off rolling diameter, so this is not a swap to make from a chart alone.
Are 195/60R15 tires legal for winter in Québec?
Québec requires winter tires from 1 December to 15 March. The tire has to carry the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) pictograph or be studded — an M+S marking on its own does not comply, and fines run $200 to $300. Of the 195/60R15 tires in stock here, 8 are 3PMSF-certified, and each one carries a snowflake badge on its card above. British Columbia's rules run 1 October to 30 April on designated highways and accept either 3PMSF or M+S.
Do you install the tires?
No. We are delivery only — your 195/60R15 tires ship to your door anywhere in Canada, and we do not mount, balance or install. Take them to any shop, or fit them yourself.
Do I have to buy four?
No. Prices on this page are per tire, and the button on each card adds a set of four because that is the usual replacement. Order whatever quantity you need. If you are replacing only two, fit them on the same axle so grip stays balanced side to side.
Fitment guidance here is general. Your vehicle's tire placard and owner's manual are the authority, and a tire professional should confirm anything that departs from them.
