About the 205/50R17 size
Compact V-rated size (some H). Big seller for Sentra and Forte owners; all-season touring lines cover it well.
The numbers mean: 205 mm section width, sidewall height 50 % of that width, and a 17-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 25.1 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 205/50R17 tires cost?
Expect $65–$92 per tire for a budget brand, $92–$150 for a mid-range tire like the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, and $150–$217 for a premium tire like the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4.

What vehicles use 205/50R17 tires?
205/50R17 is original equipment on Nissan Sentra (2013-2019, SR/SL), Kia Forte (2014-2018, EX), Hyundai Elantra GT (2013-2017), Mazda3 (2010-2013, s), Nissan Versa (2020-2024, SR) and Toyota Prius Prime (2017-2022, 17 in), 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 205/50R17 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 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kumho Ecsta PA51 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 205/50R17 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.
