- 55: the sidewall height is 55% of the width, so 195 × 55% = 107.2 mm.
- R: radial construction. A ZR in the same place is the same size with a speed marking for over 240 km/h.
- 16: it fits a 16-inch wheel. Overall diameter is 16 × 25.4 mm plus two sidewalls: 620.9 mm.
The load index and speed rating follow the size on the sidewall (for example 91V). Replace like for like or higher, as your handbook states.

Frequently asked questions
Is 195/55 R16 the same as 195/55 ZR16?
Yes, the dimensions are the same. The Z marks a tyre rated for over 240 km/h (149 mph); the exact rating is the letter after the load index, such as W or Y. Fit at least the speed rating your handbook gives for the car.
Can I fit 185/65 R15 instead of 195/55 R16?
Only if 185/65 R15 is listed for your car. On paper it is 621.5 mm tall against 620.9 mm for 195/55 R16, a 0.1% difference, so the speedometer would barely change. It also needs a 15-inch wheel instead of a 16-inch one. Wheel width, arch clearance, load index and speed rating must suit the car too, so check the handbook or the door placard, and fit one size across an axle.
How tall is a 195/55 R16 tyre?
About 620.9 mm (24.4 inches) across when new and unloaded: the 16-inch rim (406.4 mm) plus two sidewalls of 107.2 mm, which is 55% of the 195 mm width. Real tyres differ by a few millimetres between brands and patterns.
Which cars use 195/55 R16 tyres?
Fitment listings give 195/55 R16 for the Audi A1, BMW 1 Series, Citroen C3, Dacia Sandero, Fiat 500e and Ford Fiesta, among others. One model can use several sizes depending on its wheels, so check the sidewall of your own tyres before you book.
