About 195/40R14 Tires

The 195/40R14 tire size is a relatively uncommon fitment most often found on small European economy cars, certain compact hatchbacks, and some lightweight performance-oriented vehicles from the 1990s and early 2000s. It has also been used on select JDM (Japanese domestic market) compact cars that were later imported to other regions. Owners of modified or lowered small cars sometimes choose this size when fitting aftermarket wheels with a lower profile look.

For budget-conscious buyers, Nankang and Accelera offer this size at affordable price points without sacrificing basic safety standards. Mid-range shoppers may find options from Falken or Kumho, which provide a good balance of performance and durability for the size. At the premium level, Toyo and Yokohama occasionally offer this fitment with superior tread compounds and handling characteristics for those who prioritize performance.

Treddur is currently tracking 5 listings for 195/40R14 tires. Prices range from $63.22 to $176.99 depending on brand and retailer.

Because this is a niche size with limited availability, shoppers should buy early before winter or summer seasons when already-limited stock can sell out quickly. Ordering online well in advance is strongly recommended, as local retailers may not carry this size at all.

Due to its niche status and low production volume, the 195/40R14 size tends to command slightly higher per-tire prices than more common sizes, with limited discounting and fewer competitive options available.
