Bolt and Leaf: range and wear
Two of the cars on this page are electric. The Bolt and the Leaf carry heavy battery packs on small tires and deliver full torque from a standstill, so tread wears faster than on a gasoline compact. Rolling resistance also affects range directly. A tire with higher rolling resistance takes more energy to roll, which comes straight out of the range per charge. If you drive an EV, compare the warranty and look for a tire the maker describes as low rolling resistance or built for EVs.
On a Civic or Insight the trade-off is the usual one: a touring tire for long tread life, or a performance all-season for sharper steering.
Three picks, three speed ratings
The picks are listed today as 95W, 95H and 95W. All share the 95 extra-load index, so load is not a concern. The speed rating is: H is 130 mph, V 149 mph and W 168 mph. A W tire satisfies an H or V placard; the General is H-rated here, which meets an H placard but not a V one.
One older car on the list, the Mazda3, does not belong to this size: tiresize.com lists the 2010 to 2013 Mazda3 s on 205/50R17.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 215/50R17 tire is 215 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 50 percent of that (about 4.2 inches tall), and it mounts on a 17-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 25.5 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 95W on the Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport and Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season (1,521 lb per tire, rated to 168 mph) and 95H on the General AltiMAX RT45 (1,521 lb per tire, rated to 130 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.

Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport, $122.99. Milestar's touring all-season. Tiresize.com lists a 70,000-mile warranty for this size, and Milestar's own page gives 70,000 miles for H, V and W ratings and 80,000 for T. It is listed here as 95W. Independent test data on it is scarce.
General AltiMAX RT45, $162.99. General's touring tire with a 75,000-mile warranty on T and H ratings. In this size it is a 95H tire, so it meets an H placard but not a V. For a Civic EX or Insight that racks up commuter miles, it is the best value per mile.
Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season, $172.99. An ultra-high-performance all-season with a compound for wet, dry and light winter grip and a 50,000-mile warranty. It is listed as 95W in this size and suits a Civic owner who wants sharper steering more than maximum tread life.

Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber.

Winter on a sedan in this size
Most sedans in this size are front-wheel drive, and that decides what the snow laws ask of the tires. On the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law runs from September 1 to May 31: a two-wheel-drive car needs 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. The touring all-seasons that dominate this size are almost all M+S rated. An all-wheel-drive sedan passes on the vehicle alone, but all-wheel drive only helps you accelerate; braking and cornering on snow come entirely from the tire, so an all-weather tire with the 3PMSF symbol is the better year-round answer in the snow belt.
None of our picks in this size, the General AltiMAX RT45, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 215/50R17 tires cost?
Expect $68–$95 per tire for a budget brand, $95–$147 for a mid-range tire like the General AltiMAX RT45, and $147–$210 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season. A set of four therefore starts at about $272. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 215/50R17 tires?
215/50R17 is original equipment on Honda Civic (2016-2022, EX), Honda Insight (2019-2022), Honda Accord (2003-2007, EX V6), Chevrolet Bolt EV (2017-2023), Chevrolet Bolt EUV (2022-2023) and Nissan Leaf (2018-2024, SL/SV Plus), 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 215/50R17 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 Eagle Sport All-Season is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 215/50R17 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.
