About 285/40R16 Tires

The 285/40R16 tire size is relatively uncommon and is found on select performance vehicles and modified cars where wider, lower-profile fitments are desired. Some older sports cars, muscle cars, and custom builds may use this size as an aftermarket fitment for improved handling and stance. Always verify your vehicle's specific fitment requirements before purchasing this size.

At the budget end, brands like Nankang and Falken offer decent performance-oriented options in this size at accessible price points. Mid-range shoppers should consider Hankook or Kumho, which deliver solid performance and longevity with a good value proposition. For premium performance, Michelin and Continental produce top-tier options in wider low-profile sizes that offer superior grip, handling precision, and treadwear.

Like most performance tire sizes, prices on 285/40R16 tires tend to dip in late fall and winter when demand for performance fitments slows down. Buying in the off-season or during major retail sales events like Black Friday can yield meaningful savings.

Due to its relatively niche fitment, the 285/40R16 size tends to have limited availability which can keep prices somewhat elevated compared to more common tire sizes, with typical retail prices ranging from around $80 to $200 or more per tire depending on brand and performance rating.
