What 195/70 R15 means
- 195: the tyre is 195 mm wide, measured across the sidewalls.
- 70: the sidewall height is 70% of the width, so 195 × 70% = 136.5 mm.
- R: radial construction. A ZR in the same place is the same size with a speed marking for over 240 km/h.
- 15: it fits a 15-inch wheel. Overall diameter is 15 × 25.4 mm plus two sidewalls: 654 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 195/70 R15 the same as 195/70 ZR15?
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 205/60 R16 instead of 195/70 R15?
Only if 205/60 R16 is listed for your car. On paper it is 652.4 mm tall against 654 mm for 195/70 R15, a 0.2% difference, so the speedometer would barely change. It also needs a 16-inch wheel instead of a 15-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 195/70 R15 tyre?
About 654 mm (25.7 inches) across when new and unloaded: the 15-inch rim (381 mm) plus two sidewalls of 136.5 mm, which is 70% of the 195 mm width. Real tyres differ by a few millimetres between brands and patterns.
