The 195/40R13 is a relatively uncommon tire size primarily found on small European city cars, vintage compact vehicles, and certain custom or modified applications. Some older models of compact hatchbacks and economy cars from manufacturers like Fiat and Seat have used this size. It is also occasionally seen on lightweight kit cars and certain motorsport or track day vehicles where a narrow, low-profile fitment is desired.
At the budget end, Nankang and Radar offer affordable options in this uncommon size and are generally accessible through specialty online retailers. For mid-range quality, Toyo and Falken occasionally produce this size and provide a reasonable balance of performance and longevity. At the premium tier, Yokohama is worth seeking out if available, though shoppers should be prepared for limited choices given the size's low market demand.
Treddur is currently tracking 8 listings for 195/40R13 tires. Prices range from $29.88 to $91.08 depending on brand and retailer.
Because this is a niche size with limited availability, buyers should purchase as soon as they find stock rather than waiting for seasonal sales, as selection can be scarce year-round. Winter tire options in this size are extremely limited, so owners should plan well in advance before cold weather arrives.
Due to low demand and limited production runs, 195/40R13 tires tend to carry a price premium relative to their physical size, with costs often ranging higher than comparable more common sizes and fluctuating based on sporadic inventory availability.
