The 195/40R19 is a relatively uncommon and specialized tire size that appears on select compact and subcompact vehicles with larger-diameter wheels, including certain trims of the Volkswagen Polo and some aftermarket fitments on small performance-oriented cars. This size is sometimes used on vehicles where owners have opted for larger-diameter wheels while maintaining the overall rolling diameter through a lower-profile sidewall. Due to its niche nature, availability is more limited than mainstream sizes.
At the budget end, Hankook and Nankang occasionally offer this size at lower price points without significantly compromising on safety or durability. Mid-range shoppers should consider Falken or Kumho, which provide a solid balance of performance and value in this uncommon fitment. For premium buyers, Continental and Michelin offer superior ride quality, handling precision, and longevity if this size is available within their respective product lines.
Treddur is currently tracking 5 listings for 195/40R19 tires. Prices range from $78.09 to $269.12 depending on brand and retailer.
Because this is a low-volume specialty size, shoppers should buy as soon as they find stock rather than waiting for seasonal sales, as inventory can be scarce year-round. Purchasing ahead of winter or summer season changeovers is advisable to avoid being caught without options.
Due to its low production volume and limited retailer stock, the 195/40R19 typically commands higher-than-average per-tire prices compared to more common sizes, with little seasonal discounting observed.
