About 155/40R17 Tires

The 155/40R17 is a relatively uncommon and specialized tire size that is not typically found on standard passenger vehicles. It is most often associated with certain compact European city cars, lightweight sports vehicles, or custom fitments where a narrow, low-profile tire on a 17-inch wheel is required. Buyers should verify fitment carefully, as this size may also appear on some aftermarket or modified vehicle builds.

For budget-conscious buyers, options may be limited, but brands like Nankang or Maxxis occasionally offer this size at lower price points. Mid-range shoppers should consider Falken or Kumho, which provide a reliable balance of performance and value in specialty sizes. For premium performance, Continental and Michelin are the top choices if available in this size, offering superior handling, longevity, and wet weather safety.

Treddur is currently tracking 1 listing for 155/40R17 tires. Prices range from $255.06 to $255.06 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this is a niche tire size, inventory can be limited year-round, so buyers should not wait for seasonal sales and should purchase when stock is available. Prices are unlikely to drop significantly during typical spring or fall tire sale seasons due to the limited supply and specialized demand.

Due to its niche nature and low production volume, the 155/40R17 tends to command higher prices relative to more common tire sizes, with limited discounting and fewer competitive options on the market.
