About the 245/50R19 size
Common premium-compact-SUV size. Many came as run-flats from the factory; going non-RFT is cheaper and softer but leaves you without a spare.
The numbers mean: 245 mm section width, sidewall height 50 % of that width, and a 19-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 28.6 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 245/50R19 tires cost?
Expect $130–$165 per tire for a budget brand, $175–$225 for a mid-range tire like the Continental CrossContact LX25, and $235–$310 for a premium tire like the Michelin Primacy Tour A/S. 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), 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 Continental CrossContact LX25, 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 Michelin Primacy Tour A/S is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kumho Crugen HP71 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.
