The 245/50R17 is a common tire size for midsize sedans such as Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Hyundai Sonata.
With a 122.5 mm sidewall (50% aspect ratio), this tire offers a balanced blend of ride comfort and handling precision — versatile for both city driving and spirited cornering.
Compared to the baseline 225/50R17, this tire's overall diameter differs by +3.0% — a speedometer calibrated for 225/50R17 would read 97.0 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.
Fitted to the Chevrolet Corvette C5 base and Holden Commodore VE/VF (Australian RWD) 17" wheel packages from the 2008-2014 era. Load index 99V or 103W reinforced. Less common in European market.
Mainstream sedan sizes balance compound longevity against light all-season handling. When replacing, match the OE speed rating (H or V on most trims) — installing a lower rating voids many manufacturer load-test certifications and is illegal on autobahn-rated vehicles. Wheel-well clearance is rarely a concern at this rim diameter; speedometer drift across factory alternatives stays well inside the ±3% legal window.
