About 175/40R13 Tires

The 175/40R13 is a low-profile tire size most commonly found on small European city cars, lightweight sports compact vehicles, and certain kei car imports. It is also frequently used on track-day and autocross builds where enthusiasts fit wider, lower-profile tires to 13-inch aftermarket wheels. Due to its niche fitment, this size is less common on mainstream production vehicles sold in North America.

For budget-conscious buyers, Nankang and Maxxis offer this size at accessible price points without sacrificing basic performance and reliability. Mid-range shoppers should consider Toyo or Falken, which provide a solid balance of handling, longevity, and value for this low-profile fitment. Premium buyers seeking maximum grip and build quality can look to Yokohama or Bridgestone, though availability at this size may require ordering directly through specialty retailers.

Treddur is currently tracking 5 listings for 175/40R13 tires. Prices range from $52.07 to $811.50 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this is a specialty size with limited availability, it is wise to purchase well before winter or summer driving seasons to avoid stock shortages. Buying during spring or early fall often yields better availability and occasional promotional pricing from online tire retailers.

Due to its niche and low-demand status, the 175/40R13 typically carries a moderate per-tire price with limited discounting, as retailers stock small quantities and competition among sellers is relatively low.
