About 185/40R14 Tires

The 185/40R14 is a relatively uncommon tire size primarily found on small economy cars, city cars, and some older compact European models. It is also used on certain aftermarket applications where enthusiasts fit smaller diameter wheels with low-profile tires for a specific look or handling characteristic. Vehicles such as some variants of the Fiat Seicento and similar small European hatchbacks from the late 1990s and early 2000s may use this size.

At the budget end, Nankang and Radar offer this size at accessible price points with acceptable performance for light urban driving. For mid-range buyers, Falken and Toyo provide a good balance of durability and handling in this uncommon size. Premium options are limited due to the niche nature of this fitment, but Yokohama occasionally offers quality choices for drivers seeking higher performance standards.

Treddur is currently tracking 8 listings for 185/40R14 tires. Prices range from $54.07 to $147.00 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this is a niche size with limited availability, buyers should not wait for seasonal sales and should purchase when stock is available rather than timing the market. Waiting until winter or summer changeover periods may result in finding this size out of stock at many retailers.

Due to low consumer demand and limited production runs, prices for the 185/40R14 tend to be relatively stable year-round but can be higher per tire than more common sizes because of limited market competition and smaller manufacturing volumes.
