About 155/45R16 Tires

The 155/45R16 tire size is relatively uncommon and is found on a limited number of compact and economy vehicles, including certain trim levels of the Daihatsu Mira and some kei car variants sold in Asian markets. This narrow, low-profile size is occasionally used on small electric city cars and lightweight urban commuter vehicles where fuel efficiency and reduced rolling resistance are priorities.

At the budget end, Nankang and Deestone offer affordable options in this size that provide adequate performance for light city driving. Mid-range shoppers can consider Falken or Toyo, which deliver a better balance of tread life and ride quality for this uncommon fitment. For premium performance, Bridgestone and Continental occasionally produce this size, offering superior wet grip and durability for drivers who prioritize safety and longevity.

Treddur is currently tracking 4 listings for 155/45R16 tires. Prices range from $181.00 to $273.99 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this is a specialty size with limited availability, shoppers should order early before winter or summer season transitions to avoid stockouts from the small number of retailers that carry it. Waiting until peak season demand hits can result in significantly longer shipping times or forced brand substitutions.

Due to low production volumes and limited retailer competition, prices for 155/45R16 tires tend to run higher per tire than comparably sized mainstream fitments, and discounts are rare compared to more common tire sizes.
