About 195/60R21 Tires

The 195/60R21 is an unusual tire size most commonly found on certain European sedans and crossovers, notably the Volkswagen Golf and some Skoda models that use this narrow, tall-profile combination for fuel efficiency and low rolling resistance. This size is also found on select hybrid variants where manufacturers prioritize aerodynamics and economy over performance handling. Due to its relatively niche application, availability may be more limited compared to mainstream sizes.

At the budget end, Hankook and Sailun offer reliable options in this size with decent wear ratings for cost-conscious drivers. Mid-range shoppers should consider Continental or Bridgestone, which provide a strong balance of longevity, fuel efficiency ratings, and wet-weather performance suited to the vehicles that use this size. For premium buyers, Michelin's Energy Saver or Pilot series in this fitment delivers top-tier rolling resistance and ride comfort, though availability may require ordering in advance.

Treddur is currently tracking 16 listings for 195/60R21 tires. Prices range from $51.91 to $229.14 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this size is often fitted to fuel-efficiency-focused vehicles, demand tends to spike in spring and fall during seasonal tire changeover periods in regions with harsh winters, so purchasing in mid-summer or mid-winter off-peak periods can yield better pricing. Shopping in advance of the September-October winter tire rush is especially recommended if you need snow or all-season fitments.

Due to its niche status, 195/60R21 tires tend to carry a slight price premium over more common sizes, with typical retail prices ranging from around $90 to $200 per tire depending on brand and performance tier.
