215/45R17 tires
215/45R17 is the 17-inch size of the compact car. It is on the 2014 to 2019 Toyota Corolla S and XSE, the Prius Four and Five from 2010 to 2015, and the 2012 Honda Civic on 17-inch wheels. Below are real prices for 237 tires in stock, three picks with their size-specific specifications, and what Prius owners should know about 17-inch wheels.
Yes, this fits your Toyota Corolla. 215/45R17 is the original size on the 2014-2019 Toyota Corolla.
The sticker inside the driver's door is still the final word, because trim and wheel package can change the size. Back to every Toyota Corolla size.

The Prius on 17-inch wheels
Toyota offered the 2010 to 2015 Prius in Four and Five trims with 17-inch wheels instead of the standard 15s. A low-profile 17-inch tire has a wider, stiffer footprint than the 15-inch base tire, and the Prius is sensitive to rolling resistance because its fuel figures are measured on the factory tires. If you own one of these cars and care about mileage, choose a low-rolling-resistance tire. In this size the Bridgestone pick is built for exactly that.
Because the same generation was also sold on 15-inch wheels with 195/65R15 tires, a set of factory 15s is an option for owners who would rather have the cheaper, softer-riding size.
87 or 91: two load ratings in one size
In 215/45R17 the Bridgestone is a standard-load 87V tire, while the Kumho and Continental are extra-load 91W. Both are correct if the placard calls for 87; the XL tires simply have more capacity at higher pressure, and they handle a little more sharply. Do not mix standard-load and XL tires on the same axle. On a sporty Corolla or Civic, the ultra-high-performance all-seasons give the more precise steering; on a Prius, the fuel-saving tire is the better buy.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 215/45R17 tire is 215 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 45 percent of that (about 3.8 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 24.6 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.
In this size our picks are marked 87V on the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus (1,202 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.
Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.
Our three picks, side by side
One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Kumho Ecsta PA51, $119.99. Kumho's ultra-high-performance all-season, a lot of steering response for the money. In this size it is an XL 91W with 11/32 inch of tread, graded 500 AA A and warranted for 45,000 miles on non-OE tires.
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, $176.99. The pick for a Corolla XSE or Civic driven with some enthusiasm: an XL 91W ultra-high-performance all-season graded 560 AA A, with a 50,000-mile warranty and usable grip in light snow. At 20 pounds it is the lightest here.
Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus, $194.96. Bridgestone's fuel-saving all-season with a low-rolling-resistance compound and sidewall, the natural choice for a Prius Four or Five. In this size it is a standard-load 87V with a 70,000-mile warranty and a 640 A A grade.

Winter on a compact car in this size
Compact cars are nearly all front-wheel drive, and that is what the traction laws look at. In Colorado the Passenger Vehicle Traction Law applies on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison from September 1 to May 31: a two-wheel-drive car must be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer, with at least 3/16 inch of tread, and fines start at $130. Most all-season tires in this size are M+S rated, so the marking is usually there; the tread depth is what catches older tires. A light car on narrow tires actually does well in snow because the tire cuts down to the road instead of floating on it, so a dedicated winter set in this same size, swapped on in November, is the simplest upgrade if you live where it snows.
None of our picks in this size, the Kumho Ecsta PA51 and Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 215/45R17 tires cost?
Expect $54–$88 per tire for a budget brand, $88–$150 for a mid-range tire like the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, and $150–$219 for a premium tire like the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus. A set of four therefore starts at about $216. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 215/45R17 tires?
215/45R17 is original equipment on Honda Civic (2012-2015, EX/EX-L 17 in), Toyota Prius (2010-2015, Four/Five), Toyota Corolla (2014-2019, S/XSE 17 in), Honda Civic Si (2006-2011) and Hyundai Elantra Touring (2009-2012, SE), 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 215/45R17 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 Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kumho Ecsta PA51 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 215/45R17 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.
