About 175/35R17 Tires

The 175/35R17 is a relatively uncommon and specialized tire size that is typically found on certain compact and subcompact vehicles with low-profile styling, as well as some modified or custom builds. Vehicles like certain trims of the Smart ForTwo and select European city cars have been associated with narrow, low-profile 17-inch fitments. Enthusiasts who have modified their vehicles for a specific aesthetic stance may also run this size.

At the budget end, options may be limited but brands like Maxxis or Nankang occasionally produce niche low-profile sizes at accessible price points. For mid-range quality, Falken and Toyo offer reliable performance and reasonable availability in specialized sizes like this one. At the premium level, Michelin and Continental provide superior ride quality, longevity, and performance, though availability in this specific size should be confirmed before committing.

Treddur is currently tracking 14 listings for 175/35R17 tires. Prices range from $174.21 to $380.99 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this is a niche size with limited availability, it is advisable to purchase well in advance of seasonal changeovers rather than waiting, as stock can be very limited. Shopping during major retail sales events like Black Friday or end-of-season clearances may yield modest savings if inventory is available.

Due to its niche nature and low production volume, the 175/35R17 typically commands higher per-unit prices than more common sizes, with limited discounting and frequent stock shortages driving costs up further.
