225/50 R17 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 169 tyre models available, which can be compared to 205/55 R16, 195/65 R15, 205/60 R16. Let's break down the sizing - 50 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 50% of the tyre width (225mm), which means the sidewall height has 112.5 mm. The wheel diameter is R17, which means it fits to a 17 inch/431.8mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2063.4 mm, which is very similar to 285/35 R18(2063.08 mm), 205/55 R17(2064.97 mm), 160/70 R17(2060.26 mm), 295/25 R20(2059.31 mm), 245/30 R20(2057.74 mm), 245/35 R19(2054.92 mm), 295/30 R19(2072.19 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 225/50 R17: H(210km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 94, 98.
