About 165/40R17 Tires

The 165/40R17 is a relatively uncommon tire size that is occasionally found on certain small European city cars and some modified or custom vehicle builds where narrow, low-profile tires are desired for aesthetic or performance reasons. This size may also appear on some lightweight sports cars and kei-class vehicles adapted for specific markets. Always verify your vehicle's exact fitment requirements before purchasing, as this is not a widely standardized OEM size.

At the budget end, brands like Radar and Nankang occasionally produce tires in uncommon sizes like 165/40R17 and offer reasonable value for cost-conscious buyers. Mid-range shoppers may find options from Falken or Toyo, which provide a better balance of performance and durability for this size. For premium buyers, Michelin or Continental may offer compatible options in limited quantities, delivering superior handling and longevity when available.

Treddur is currently tracking 8 listings for 165/40R17 tires. Prices range from $57.93 to $128.72 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this is a niche tire size with limited availability, buyers should not wait for seasonal sales and should purchase as soon as a suitable tire is found. Stock levels can be unpredictable, and waiting for end-of-season discounts may result in the size being out of stock entirely.

Due to its niche status and low production volume, the 165/40R17 tends to command higher per-tire prices than more common sizes, with limited discounting even during typical seasonal sale periods.
