Match the load index and speed rating shown on your current sidewall and the vehicle placard (door shut) or handbook. Some 195/60 R18 tyres are offered in multiple ratings, so filter the results to the exact specification you need. You can usually fit a higher rating than required, but do not go below the manufacturer requirement.
Yes, 195/60 R18 tyres are sold in summer, winter and all-season patterns, but availability can vary because it is a niche size. Summer tyres suit warmer months, winter tyres improve grip in cold weather, and all-season tyres balance the two for year-round UK driving. Pick the type that matches when and where you drive most, then confirm the correct load and speed rating.
195/60 R18 is fitted to fewer vehicles than more common 18-inch sizes, so fewer manufacturers produce a wide range of patterns at all times. That smaller production volume can affect price and lead times. If you want the best choice, compare across premium, mid-range and budget brands and consider ordering before your tread reaches the legal limit.
Only change size if your vehicle manufacturer lists an alternative size for your exact model and wheel option. A different size can alter rolling circumference, speedometer accuracy, handling balance, and clearance to suspension and bodywork. If you are unsure, check the handbook, the tyre placard, or ask a fitter before you buy.
Check the tyre code on your current tyres and the wheel diameter stamped on the rim - the R18 marking must match your 18-inch wheel. The 195 width also needs to be compatible with your wheel width, so avoid fitting to rims outside the tyre maker’s approved range. If your car currently runs 195/60 R18 front and rear, keep the same size across an axle and replace in pairs for consistent grip.
