The 205/60R16 is a common tire size for midsize sedans such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Hyundai Sonata.
With a 123.0 mm sidewall (60% aspect ratio), this tire provides a smooth, cushioned ride that absorbs road imperfections well — ideal for daily commuting and highway cruising.
Compared to the baseline 205/55R16, this tire's overall diameter differs by +3.2% — a speedometer calibrated for 205/55R16 would read 96.9 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.
OE on the Hyundai Tucson (JM 2004-2009) first-gen base and Honda CR-V (RD 1997-2001) base. Load index 92V or 96H reinforced. Taller sidewall on a 16" rim suits early crossovers that still drive like raised sedans.
Mainstream sedan sizes balance compound longevity against light all-season handling. When replacing, match the OE speed rating (H or V on most trims) — installing a lower rating voids many manufacturer load-test certifications and is illegal on autobahn-rated vehicles. Wheel-well clearance is rarely a concern at this rim diameter; speedometer drift across factory alternatives stays well inside the ±3% legal window.
