The 165/60R21 is a relatively uncommon and specialized tire size most often found on certain European compact and subcompact vehicles, including some variants of the Citroën C4 Cactus and select Peugeot models that use narrow, tall tires for improved fuel efficiency and rolling resistance. This size is also associated with some electric and hybrid vehicles designed to optimize energy consumption through reduced tire width. Availability may be more limited compared to mainstream sizes, so confirming fitment with your vehicle manufacturer is recommended.
At the budget end, Sailun and Nexen offer affordable options in this size that provide acceptable performance for everyday driving. Mid-range shoppers should consider Hankook or Kumho, which deliver a solid balance of durability, comfort, and wet-weather handling. For premium performance, Michelin and Bridgestone are the top choices, offering superior longevity, low rolling resistance, and enhanced safety characteristics especially suited to fuel-efficient vehicles that commonly use this size.

Due to its niche nature and lower production volume, the 165/60R21 typically commands a price premium over more common tire sizes, with prices generally ranging from around $90 to $180 per tire depending on brand and performance tier.
