About the 215/55R17 size
Top-5 US size, V or H rated, driven by the Camry/Accord/Altima fleet. Every brand competes here so premium touring tires go on sale often. Kia Niro and Kona Electric owners should look for low-rolling-resistance or EV-rated tires.
The numbers mean: 215 mm section width, sidewall height 55 % of that width, and a 17-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 26.3 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.

What is the best 215/55R17 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 Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar Weatherguard AW365 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 215/55R17 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.
