About 245/40R16 Tires

The 245/40R16 tire size is relatively uncommon and is found on select European and performance-oriented vehicles from the 1990s and early 2000s. Some older Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen models used this size as original equipment on sport trim levels. Enthusiasts who have modified their vehicles for a wider stance on 16-inch wheels may also run this size.

At the budget end, Nexen and Kumho occasionally offer options in this size at lower price points for cost-conscious buyers. Mid-range shoppers may find suitable fitments from Hankook or Falken, which offer a balance of performance and durability. For premium quality, Michelin and Continental produce high-performance tires in this size when available, offering superior handling and longevity.

Because this is a niche size with limited availability, shoppers should buy as soon as they find a suitable option rather than waiting for seasonal sales. Inventory can be sparse year-round, so stocking up or ordering in advance is advisable.

Due to the limited demand and niche nature of the 245/40R16 size, prices can be higher than comparable more common sizes, and availability fluctuates making consistent pricing difficult to predict.
