Expert summary

Very good traction on snow for a nice price in a wide range of dimensions. Could use shorter braking distance on dry and better traction on the wet.

Did you know ...?

185/60 R16 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are tyre models available, which can be compared to 325/30 R21, 155/60 R15, 155/65 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 60 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 60% of the tyre width (185mm), which means the sidewall height has 111 mm. The wheel diameter is R16, which means it fits to a 16 inch/406.4mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is mm, which is very similar to 255/30 R20(2076.59 mm), 180/60 R17(2035.12 mm), 255/40 R21(2316.61 mm), 185/65 R14(1872.7 mm), 255/55 R19(2397.35 mm), 195/40 R17(1846.63 mm), 255/70 R18(2557.88 mm).
