The 225/60R16 is a common tire size for midsize sedans such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Hyundai Sonata.
With a 135.0 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 +7.0% — a speedometer calibrated for 205/55R16 would read 93.4 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.
OE on the Buick LaCrosse (W-body), Pontiac Grand Prix (W-body 2004-2008) and Buick Century (W-body 1997-2005). Load index 98T or 98H. Tall sidewall + wide tread is unusual now; mostly a replacement-market size with US-brand availability stronger than European catalogues.
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.
