195/60 R15 EU tyre label data
EU label values are declared for each individual size, so the figures here are exact for 195/60 R15 rather than a range across a model. 528 tyres carry label data in this size. The most common load index is 88 (up to 560 kg per tyre). Speed ratings on offer: V (240 km/h), H (210 km/h), T (190 km/h), R (170 km/h), Q (160 km/h). 301 tyres in this size carry the 3PMSF severe snow marking.

- Falken ZIEX ZE320 Summer 9.4
- Nokian Seasonproof 2 All Season 9.1
- Bridgestone Weather Control A005 All Season 9.1
- Nokian WetProof Summer 8.9
- Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 Winter 8.9

Label values come from the EU EPREL database and apply to the EU market versions of each tyre. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict - the tests and owner ratings above tell you far more.
How long do 195/60 R15 tyres last?
Across 36 end of life reviews in this size, a typical set of tyres was worn out after 13,670 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 1,500 miles and 28,500 miles.
Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them. Driving style and the car matter more than the size itself.
What does 195/60 R15 mean?
A 195/60 R15 tyre is 195 mm wide, its sidewall is 60% of that width (117 mm) tall, and it fits a 15 inch wheel. That gives an overall diameter of roughly 615 mm.
| Section width | 195 mm |
|---|---|
| Sidewall height | 117 mm |
| Rim diameter | 15" (381 mm) |
| Overall diameter | ≈ 615 mm |
| Circumference | ≈ 1,932 mm |
| Revolutions per km | ≈ 518 |
| Revolutions per mile | ≈ 833 |

What drivers say about their 195/60 R15 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
There's no need to pay double the money for percentages where you won't feel balanced in any aspect.
I was previously using CrossClimate, and I had to change my tire in an unexpected place. I managed to find this one there. Overall, it's not bad for the price, but there's one thing: even though it has tread depth now, the deformations on the tire surface are causing the car to be unbalanced. I can understand quick wear or less grip on the road, but having balance issues due to surface deformations is something I can't accept for a brand like Goodyear.
I am extremely satisfied with these tires, they always impress me again and again.
Whether it's Dunlop, Continental, Firestone, or other budget tire brands (except for Nexen tires), they can't compete with this special all-season tire.
Whether it's Dunlop, Continental, Firestone, or other budget tire brands (except for Nexen tires), they can't compete with this special all-season tire.
I used the Bridgestone Potenza GIII for about 5,000 km, including daily driving and two track days.
They are very comfortable tires with a good level of grip. Their performance in the rain is excellent and gave me a lot of confidence in wet conditions.
I did notice that tread wear increased after the high temperatures generated during track use, which is expected for a street-oriented performance tire. However, for daily driving and spirited driving, they are outstanding—very safe, predictable, and confidence-inspiring.
Overall, I would highly recommend them if you're looking for a tire that performs well on the street while still being capable of handling occasional track use.
Excellent on wet and very good on dry, good handling, they are precisely made. Driving comfort much better than to Hankook Ventus Prime3 which replaced.
i've had iffy tires.
the toyo proxies were amazing in dry and horrible in wet.
the hankook ventus 3's were decent all around.
and the continental eco contact i have 0 complaints (other then they stopped making them in my size).
these though, the moment i picked my car up from the shop it felt like it was drunk the feedback from the front was almost completely gone and the responsiveness was....there but off, so i was going to rate comfort high but at 120kph the steering wheel occasionally starts to shake.
the incident that made me order new tires to replace them was when i was pulling in to a gap between trucks and i did a burnout when i accelerated...it's not that my car can't do that it's that it usually doesn't happen unless i plan to do it and if it does it on a bright sunny day what is it gone do when it rains? i did not want to find out.

Very noisy, like the wheel bearings were shot. Very soft compound, the sidewalls were all scrubbed even when driving normally, so I had to put about 4~6PSI over the usual, but the real bad thing was that they wear out abnormally fast, they were on TWI after just 10500 miles/17000Km and in that time I had 3 bubbles on the sidewall that quickly punctured and required vulcanising. It wasn't a high performance car, it wasn't driven like I stole it but the three sets of Michelin Energy Saver and XM2 that preceded those Continentals lasted about 37300 miles/60000 kilometers.

Review your tyres and help the next driver choose. It takes about five minutes, and every review on this page came from a driver who took them.
Where this data comes from
Owner ratings are submitted through the review form on this site, naming the tyre, the size and the distance covered, and are checked by hand before publication. Test results come from independent published tyre tests indexed by size, and label values from the EU EPREL database.
About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, so you can check a car-specific ranking against the wider evidence.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
