About 195/50R15 tires

A 195/50R15 is an ordinary size in the best sense. It rides, it's easy to shop for, and nothing about it is going to surprise you. A tire size only means something next to a wheel width and a car, because the wheel decides what'll mount and the car decides what'll fit.

Tell us the car and the wheel set and you'll only see the 195/50R15 lines that mount and fit.

Common questions

What does 195/50R15 mean?

Width first, then sidewall, then the wheel it goes on. The tread's 195 mm across, and the sidewall is 50 percent of that. The R just means it's a radial, like everything else on the road now. Stood next to a tape it's about 22.7 inches tall.

Will 195/50R15 fit your car?

Tell us the year, make and model and you'll only see sizes that suit it. The wheel has to be wide enough to carry the tread, and the overall height has to stay near where the car started.

What wheel width fits 195/50R15?

It's a range, not one number. Anything from about 5 to 7.5 inches wide will take it, and every product page shows what that line's maker approves. Pick a wheel set first and the sizes narrow to it.
