About the 195/50R16 size
Sporty subcompact size, H or V. Few models per brand; the Fiesta ST used 205/40R17 so check trim before buying.
The numbers mean: 195 mm section width, sidewall height 50 % of that width, and a 16-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 23.7 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 195/50R16 tires cost?
Expect $65–$86 per tire for a budget brand, $86–$132 for a mid-range tire like the General AltiMAX RT45, and $132–$229 for a premium tire like the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS. A set of four therefore starts at about $260. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 195/50R16 tires?
195/50R16 is original equipment on Ford Fiesta (2011-2019, SE hatch 16 in), Hyundai Accent (2012-2017, SE) and Kia Rio (2012-2017, SX), 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 195/50R16 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the General AltiMAX RT45, 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 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kelly Edge is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 195/50R16 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.
