About 155/65R17 Tires

The 155/65R17 tire size is relatively uncommon and is primarily found on certain European economy and compact cars designed for low rolling resistance and fuel efficiency. Vehicles such as the Renault Zoe electric vehicle and some variants of the Peugeot 208 use this narrow, tall-profile size. Its narrow width combined with a 17-inch rim diameter is specifically engineered to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve range in fuel-efficient and electric vehicles.

At the budget end, Hankook and Sailun offer reliable options in this size that provide adequate performance for everyday driving at a lower cost. Mid-range shoppers should consider Michelin Energy Saver or Continental EcoContact lines, which are specifically engineered for fuel efficiency and are well-suited to the vehicles that commonly use this size. For premium performance, Michelin's Primacy and Bridgestone Ecopia ranges deliver excellent low rolling resistance, longevity, and ride quality, making them a strong investment especially for EV owners concerned about maximizing range.

Treddur is currently tracking 15 listings for 155/65R17 tires. Prices range from $48.06 to $211.82 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this size is popular on electric vehicles, demand tends to spike in spring and fall as EV owners switch between winter and all-season tires, so purchasing outside those peak windows can yield better availability. Buying in mid-summer or mid-winter often provides the best selection and potential discounts from retailers looking to move inventory.

Due to the specialized and relatively low-demand nature of the 155/65R17 size, prices tend to be less competitive than more common sizes, often running slightly higher per tire with fewer budget options available across retailers.
