205/60 R16 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 113 tyre models available, which can be compared to 205/50 R17, 245/45 R18, 245/40 R18.

The total circumference of the tyre is 2049.58 mm, which is very similar to 245/45 R17(2049.26 mm), 170/80 R15(2051.46 mm), 200/55 R17(2047.69 mm), 245/40 R18(2052.09 mm), 185/80 R14(2047.06 mm), 285/30 R19(2053.34 mm), 225/60 R15(2045.18 mm).
