How the blog is madePrices are those listed by Shaharyar Traders (3 branches, Lahore), the one dealer on CircleWheels; a listed price does not confirm stock. The catalogue holds sizes and prices only, with no load or speed ratings, tread data, test results or reviews. Confirm your size on your current tyres or the door-jamb placard before buying.
Whichever of the 53 brands a buyer picks in 255/40R17, Shaharyar Traders lists the brand-only tyre at Rs 26,500, so four of them total Rs 106,000. These prices were last updated on 3 June 2026.
The first tyre listed with a model name sits at Rs 35,000, so the gap between a budget set and the next step up is Rs 34,000 across four tyres. The sections below walk up from Rs 26,500 through the three lowest prices for tyres listed with a model name.
Rs 26,500 a tyre, whichever of the 53 brands
The dealer's price list gives these tyres by brand and size only, with "China" written where a model name would be. That is the dealer's label, and CircleWheels calls them brand-only listings. Sailun, Linglong, Westlake, Double Coin, Giti and Sumitomo are a few of the brands on the list; the 255/40R17 size page carries every one.
In this size the brand does not change the price. Picking Westlake over Double Star, or Sumitomo over Wanda, leaves the bill at Rs 26,500 a tyre and Rs 106,000 for four.
Rs 35,000: three Nexen models share the first step
The lowest price for a tyre listed with a model name in 255/40R17 is Rs 35,000, shared by three Nexen tyres: Nexen NFERA SU1, Nexen N6000 and Nexen NFERA SUR4G.
Each costs Rs 8,500 more than the Rs 26,500 brand-only price. Over a set of four, that adds Rs 34,000. For that money a buyer gets a specific model to ask for by name, rather than a brand whose pattern the branch has to confirm.
Rs 36,000: Kumho Ecsta PS71 and seven others
One rung higher, eight tyres sit at Rs 36,000, among them the Kumho Ecsta PS71. Against the brand-only price that is Rs 9,500 more a tyre and Rs 38,000 more for four.
The move from the Nexen rung to this one is small: Rs 1,000 a tyre between Rs 35,000 and Rs 36,000, or Rs 4,000 across a set.
Rs 43,000: Toyo Proxes R888R and three others
The third price rung jumps to Rs 43,000, shared by four tyres including the Toyo Proxes R888R. That is Rs 16,500 a tyre above the brand-only price, and Rs 66,000 more for a set of four.
Above this rung the dealer lists more tyres with a model name; the 61 comparable ones in 255/40R17 run from Rs 35,000 to Rs 56,000.
| Price per tyre | Tyres at this price | Example | More than Rs 26,500, per tyre | More for a set of four |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rs 26,500 | 53 brand-only listings | Sailun, Linglong, Westlake | – | – |
| Rs 35,000 | 3 | Nexen NFERA SU1 | Rs 8,500 | Rs 34,000 |
| Rs 36,000 | 8 | Kumho Ecsta PS71 | Rs 9,500 | Rs 38,000 |
| Rs 43,000 | 4 | Toyo Proxes R888R | Rs 16,500 | Rs 66,000 |
Who should skip the brand-only rung
These prices apply to 255/40R17 alone. A car that runs a different size needs that size's own page, and none of the figures here carry over.
Buyers who want to pick a particular model or tread pattern will not find one in the brand-only listings. The dealer names only the brand and size, so the branch has to say which patterns it holds in 255/40R17. Anyone set on a tyre with a model name starts at the Rs 35,000 Nexen rung.
The car page that lists 255/40R17
One car page on CircleWheels lists 255/40R17. Owners of other cars that take this size should check their sidewall first; the size page is the place to compare the full set of prices at Rs 26,500 and up.
