About 165/40R14 Tires

The 165/40R14 is a relatively uncommon, low-profile tire size primarily found on small economy cars, certain kei cars, and some compact European vehicles. It is occasionally used on modified or tuned compact cars where a stretched tire fitment is desired for aesthetic purposes. Owners of older subcompact vehicles or those who have made aftermarket wheel upgrades are the most likely buyers of this size.

At the budget level, brands like Nankang and Accelera offer this size at lower price points and are generally suitable for everyday driving on smaller displacement vehicles. Mid-range options from Toyo or Falken may be available through specialty importers and provide a better balance of performance and longevity. For premium performance, Yokohama occasionally produces this size, offering superior handling and treadwear for drivers who prioritize quality over cost.

Treddur is currently tracking 2 listings for 165/40R14 tires. Prices range from $48.79 to $53.99 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this is a niche tire size with limited availability, it is advisable to purchase whenever stock is available rather than waiting for seasonal sales. Waiting for winter or spring buying seasons may result in limited or no inventory for this uncommon size.

Due to its niche status and low production volume, the 165/40R14 tends to carry a price premium relative to more common tire sizes, and discounts are infrequent given the limited supply from manufacturers.
