What sizes are close to 215/60R16?
By diameter, 215/55R17 (about 26.3 in) is within about 0.6% of 215/60R16, and 245/45R18 (about 26.7 in) is within about 2%.

How do I check used 215/60R16 tires for age and dry rot?
Read the DOT date first. The last four digits of the DOT code are the week and year of manufacture.
Then look closely at the sidewall and between the tread blocks for fine cracks, often called dry rot or weather checking. Light surface crazing is common on older rubber, but deep cracks you can catch a fingernail in mean the tire should not go back on the road.
Many tire and vehicle makers recommend having tires inspected yearly after about 5 years and replaced somewhere around 6 to 10 years, no matter the tread. Call or text us if you want a second look.
