About the 255/50R19 size
Luxury SUV size, V/W rated with 107 XL load. OE-marked and run-flat versions matter for BMW and Mercedes fitments.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 255/50R19 tire is 255 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 50 percent of that (about 5.0 inches tall), and it mounts on a 19-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 29 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 107W on the Atturo AZ810 (2,150 lb per tire, rated to 168 mph) and 107H on the Dunlop Grandtrek Touring and Goodyear Eagle LS-2 ROF (2,150 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.
What 255/50R19 tires cost across the whole range

The same tires in neighboring sizes
The Atturo AZ810, our budget pick here at $131.96, is also stocked in 305/40R20 ($164.96), 275/45R21 ($171.08), 255/55R19 ($135.96) and 245/35R21 ($137.96). 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. Prices per tire, from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.
Winter on an SUV in this size
Most SUVs in this size are all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which is enough to satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, as long as the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive version must instead be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Four driven wheels help you pull away, not stop: a heavy SUV on worn all-seasons needs much more road to brake on snow than the same vehicle on a tire with the 3PMSF symbol, so in the snow belt choose the tire, not just the drivetrain.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 255/50R19 tires cost?
Expect $112–$174 per tire for a budget brand, $174–$290 for a mid-range tire like the Dunlop Grandtrek Touring, and $290–$379 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Eagle LS-2 ROF. A set of four therefore starts at about $448. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 255/50R19 tires?
255/50R19 is original equipment on BMW X5 (2014-2018, 19 in), Mercedes-Benz GLE (2016-2019, 19 in), Porsche Cayenne (2011-2018, 19 in alternative), Porsche Macan (2015-2024, 19 in rear), Volkswagen ID.4 (2021-2024, 19 in Pro / Pro S rear) and BMW X6 (2015-2019, 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 255/50R19 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Dunlop Grandtrek Touring, 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 LS-2 ROF is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Atturo AZ810 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 255/50R19 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.
