How to choose the right size
- Read the size on your door-jamb placard or in the owner’s manual, for example 195/65R15. The last number is the wheel diameter in inches.
- Meet or exceed the load index and speed rating listed for your vehicle.
- Stay with the original overall diameter. Changing width or aspect ratio can affect fit and speedometer accuracy.
- Ideally replace all four tires together; if you replace two, put the new pair on the rear axle and follow your manual.

The picks
A sport-leaning all-season in a common compact-car size. Load index 88 equals 1,235 lb per tire.
A narrow, tall-sidewall size for small cars and older vehicles that use 165/80R15. Load index 87 equals 1,201 lb.
A grand-touring all-season from a major brand, in a very common 15-inch size. Load index 91 equals 1,356 lb per tire.
Fits cars that use 205/65R15. Load index 94 equals 1,477 lb. Read the warranty conditions before relying on the mileage figure.
A lower-profile performance all-season for cars that use 205/50R15. Load index 86 equals 1,168 lb. Expect a firmer ride than a touring tire.
A budget all-season for cars that use 185/60R15. Check the size against your placard because 185/65R15 is a different tire.
A low-priced touring tire. The listing mentions a 45,000-mile treadwear warranty; check the terms for your size.
A passenger-car and CUV all-season. Confirm width and load index for your vehicle.
The best-known brand in this group. Prices and sizes vary a lot between listings, so match the size carefully.
Intended for daily commuting. Do not order until you have checked that the rim diameter is 15 inches.
Another 165/80R15 option for small and older cars. Load index 87 equals 1,201 lb.
Sailun lists a limited treadwear warranty that varies by size, so check the figure for yours.
Warranty mileage is as stated on the listing; read its conditions. Confirm width and load index for your vehicle.
The listing mentions up to a 55,000-mile limited tread-life warranty; terms vary by size.
Also consider: not a fit for most 15-inch cars
These two listings should not be bought for a typical 15-inch car. The links are kept for readers who need exactly these tires.
Summer tires are not rated for winter use, and a 13-inch tire cannot fit a 15-inch wheel.
Most 15-inch cars cannot fit a 265-wide tire. Only consider it if your vehicle already runs that size.

Care tips for your tires
- Check pressure monthly against the placard, not the number on the sidewall.
- Rotate on the interval in your owner’s manual.
- Replace tires at 2/32 inch of tread depth, or sooner if wet grip feels poor.
- All-season tires handle light snow; a tire with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol is better for regular winter driving.
FAQ
What does the 15 in a 15-inch tire size mean?
It is the wheel diameter in inches. In a size such as 195/65R15, 195 is the tread width in millimeters, 65 is the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, R means radial and 15 is the wheel diameter.
Where do I find my tire size?
Look at the placard on the driver door jamb, in the owner’s manual or on the sidewall of your current tires. Use the size and load index listed there as your minimum.
Are all-season tires fine for winter?
They cope with light snow and cold rain, but they are not designed for deep snow or ice. For regular winter driving look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol.
Can I fit summer tires on a car that I drive year-round?
Summer tires lose grip and can harden in cold weather, so they are a poor choice for year-round driving in places that see freezing temperatures.
How often should I rotate 15-inch tires?
Follow your owner’s manual. Many manufacturers suggest roughly every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, and rotating on schedule helps the tread wear evenly.
Match the size first, then choose on tread, ride and warranty. Have a tire shop mount, balance and check alignment.
