What 205/75 R16 means

- 75: the sidewall height is 75% of the width, so 205 × 75% = 153.8 mm.
- R: radial construction. A ZR in the same place is the same size with a speed marking for over 240 km/h.

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 205/75 R16 the same as 205/75 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 215/65 R17 instead of 205/75 R16?
Only if 215/65 R17 is listed for your car. On paper it is 711.3 mm tall against 713.9 mm for 205/75 R16, a 0.4% difference, so the speedometer would barely change. It also needs a 17-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 205/75 R16 tyre?
About 713.9 mm (28.1 inches) across when new and unloaded: the 16-inch rim (406.4 mm) plus two sidewalls of 153.8 mm, which is 75% of the 205 mm width. Real tyres differ by a few millimetres between brands and patterns.
Which vans use 205/75 R16 tyres?
Fitment listings give 205/75 R16 for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. One model can use several sizes depending on its wheels, so check the sidewall of your own tyres before you book.
