About 155/70R17 Tires

The 155/70R17 tire size is relatively uncommon and is found on select compact and subcompact vehicles, most notably certain configurations of the Toyota Prius and some European economy cars designed for low rolling resistance and fuel efficiency. This narrow, tall tire profile is specifically engineered for vehicles where maximizing fuel economy is a primary design goal. If you are unsure whether this is the correct size for your vehicle, always verify by checking the tire placard on your driver's side door jamb.

At the budget end, options from brands like Sailun or Hankook can offer adequate performance at a lower price point for drivers prioritizing cost savings. Mid-range shoppers often find strong value from Michelin's energy-focused lines or Bridgestone Ecopia tires, which balance longevity and fuel efficiency well for this size. For premium performance, Michelin and Continental offer top-tier options in this size that excel in wet handling, low rolling resistance, and tread life.

Because this size is often fitted to fuel-efficient vehicles driven year-round, purchasing winter tires in late September through October ensures availability before cold weather sets in, as this less common size can sell out quickly. Shopping in spring for all-season replacements may yield modest discounts as demand drops after winter.

Due to its relatively niche application, the 155/70R17 size typically commands slightly higher prices than more common sizes, with limited discounting and fewer competitive options available across retailers.
