245/50R19 tires

245/50R19 is the 19-inch size of the BMW X3 from 2018 and the X4 from 2019. Many of these cars left the factory on run-flat tires and without a spare, which shapes every decision about replacements. Below are real prices for 67 tires in stock, our picks with their size-specific specifications, and how to decide whether to stay with run-flats.

What 245/50R19 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $980 to $1,228, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

Run-flat, star-marked or neither

Look at the sidewall of the tires on your X3 before you order. A run-flat carries a code such as RSC, RFT, SSR or ZP; a star symbol means the tire was developed to BMW's specification. The two are separate: there are star-marked run-flats and star-marked conventional tires. Moving to a conventional, non-star tire is legal and usually rides more softly and costs less, but the car has no spare, so a puncture means a sealant kit or a tow. If you stay with run-flats, fit them on all four corners.

xDrive and matched tires

Most X3 and X4 models are xDrive all-wheel drive, and the system splits power by comparing wheel speeds. Replace all four tires together where you can, keep them the same model, and rotate them if the car runs the same size front and rear. If one tire is ruined early in its life, ask the shop about shaving a new tire down to match the others rather than fitting one tall new tire next to three worn ones.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 245/50R19 tire is 245 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 50 percent of that (about 4.8 inches tall), and it mounts on a 19-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 28.6 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 105W on the Westlake SA07 Sport (2,039 lb per tire, rated to 168 mph) and 105H on the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season (2,039 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.

Westlake SA07 Sport, $135.96. A low-cost all-season for sporty cars and crossovers, warranted for 45,000 miles. The retailer is not stocking it in 245/50R19 today.

BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus, $244.99. BFGoodrich's directional all-season with sporty steering, in an XL 105W construction with 9/32 inch of tread, a 400 A A grade and a 45,000-mile warranty. A conventional, non-run-flat tire, so plan for a sealant kit.

Pirelli Cinturato P7, $338.92. Pirelli's grand-touring all-season, an XL 105H in this size graded 500 A A. The line is also made as a run-flat in some sizes, so if you want to keep run-flats on your X3, check that the listing you choose is the run-flat version. No mileage warranty is shown for this size.

What 245/50R19 tires cost across the whole range

Of the 82 tires listed in this size, 67 are in stock today. The median is $274.99; a third of the tires cost $244.99 or less, and the top five percent start above $404.99. Those are per-tire prices before mounting and balancing, which adds $15 to $45 per tire at most shops, read from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Westlake SA07 Sport, our budget pick here at $135.96, is also stocked in 235/35R19 ($112.96) and 255/45R17 ($124.96). The BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus, our mid-range pick here at $244.99, is also stocked in 305/35R20 ($309.99). 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 in this size: what the states actually require

Crossovers in this size come both ways, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, and the difference matters under the traction laws. 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. You need either an all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive vehicle, or tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer, and in every case at least 3/16 inch of tread. Fines start at $130. An AWD crossover passes on the vehicle alone; a front-wheel-drive one does not, and then the tire marking is what the trooper checks. If you want one set year-round in the snow belt, an all-weather tire with the 3PMSF symbol is the better answer than a plain all-season.

Vehicles that came with 245/50R19

• BMW X3 (2018-2024, 19 in)
• BMW X4 (2019-2024, 19 in)

X3 and X4 models with sport packages often use staggered 20- or 21-inch sizes; check the placard and the sidewall codes before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

How much do 245/50R19 tires cost?

Expect $107–$245 per tire for a budget brand, $245–$307 for a mid-range tire like the BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus, and $307–$405 for a premium tire like the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season. A set of four therefore starts at about $428. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 245/50R19 tires?

245/50R19 is original equipment on BMW X3 (2018-2024, 19 in) and BMW X4 (2019-2024, 19 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 245/50R19 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S 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 Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Westlake SA07 Sport is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 245/50R19 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.
