235/40R19 tires

235/40R19 is the sport-trim size of the midsize sedan. The Honda Accord Sport and Touring use it from 2017 on, the Toyota Camry XSE and the Avalon XSE and Touring from 2018 and 2019, the Nissan Altima SR from 2019, the Lexus ES F Sport, and the Tesla Model 3 on its 19-inch Sport wheels. Below are real prices for 217 tires in stock, three picks with their size-specific specifications, and the two things that wear a low-profile 19-inch tire out early.

What 235/40R19 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $535 to $960, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

Potholes and the 40-series sidewall

A 40 percent sidewall in this width is about 3.7 inches tall, and it is the only cushion between a pothole and the wheel. That is why owners of these cars replace more tires to impact damage than to wear: a bulge in the sidewall means the cords inside are broken, and the tire must come off even with full tread. Keeping the pressure at the placard figure is the best protection, since an underinflated low-profile tire pinches against the rim much more easily. All three of our picks are extra-load (XL) tires in this size, which helps a little.

If you live where the roads break up every spring, a road-hazard plan is worth more on these tires than on almost any other size.

Front tires on front-drive sport sedans

The Accord, Camry, Altima and ES are front-wheel drive, and the fronts do the steering, most of the braking and all of the pulling. On a sport trim with a turbo or V6 they can wear twice as fast as the rears. Rotating every 5,000 to 7,500 miles evens that out and keeps the warranty valid; skip it and you end up replacing the fronts alone, with a pair that grips differently from the rears.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 235/40R19 tire is 235 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 40 percent of that (about 3.7 inches tall), and it mounts on a 19-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 26.4 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.

In this size our picks are marked 96V on the Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport and Pirelli P Zero All Season (1,565 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.

Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.

Our three picks, side by side

One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport, $139.99. A low-priced all-season with a long warranty in this size: 70,000 miles according to the listing, a 580 A A grade and 11/32 inch of tread, in an XL 96V construction. At 24.9 pounds it is also the heaviest of the three.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, $241.99. The tire to buy if you chose the sport trim for the way it drives. In 235/40R19 it is an XL 96W with a 560 AA A grade and 50,000 miles of warranty, and it keeps useful grip in light snow, which most tires in this category do not.

Pirelli P Zero, $275.50. Pirelli's ultra-high-performance all-season, with sipes in the inner blocks for light snow. In this size it is an XL 96V with 9/32 inch of tread, the shallowest of the three, and a 500 A A grade. The listing shows no mileage warranty for this size.

What 235/40R19 tires cost across the whole range

Those are per-tire prices before mounting and balancing, which adds $15 to $45 per tire at most shops, read from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.

Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber.

Winter on a sedan in this size

Most sedans in this size are front-wheel drive, and that decides what the snow laws ask of the tires. On the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law runs from September 1 to May 31: a two-wheel-drive car needs tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer, with at least 3/16 inch of tread, and fines start at $130. The touring all-seasons that dominate this size are almost all M+S rated. An all-wheel-drive sedan passes on the vehicle alone, but all-wheel drive only helps you accelerate; braking and cornering on snow come entirely from the tire, so an all-weather tire with the 3PMSF symbol is the better year-round answer in the snow belt.

None of our picks in this size, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions

How much do 235/40R19 tires cost?

Expect $86–$134 per tire for a budget brand, $134–$240 for a mid-range tire like the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, and $240–$364 for a premium tire like the Pirelli P Zero All Season. A set of four therefore starts at about $344. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 235/40R19 tires?

235/40R19 is original equipment on Honda Accord (2018-2024, Sport/Touring), Honda Accord (2017, Sport), Toyota Camry (2018-2024, XSE), Toyota Avalon (2019-2022, XSE/Touring), Tesla Model 3 (2017-2023, 19 in Sport), Nissan Altima (2019-2024, SR), Lexus ES (2019-2024, F Sport), Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman (2017-2024, 19 in front), Porsche 911 (2012-2016, 19 in Carrera front) and Porsche 911 (2017-2019, 19 in Carrera front), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.

What is the best 235/40R19 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Pirelli P Zero All Season is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 235/40R19 tires?

On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
