245 is the tyre width in millimetres, 50 is the sidewall height as a percentage of the width, R means radial construction, and 14 is the wheel diameter in inches. Matching all parts of 245/50 R14 ensures the tyre seats correctly on a 14-inch rim and keeps the intended profile.

Use the vehicle handbook or door placard as the minimum requirement, then choose a 245/50 R14 option that meets or exceeds both the load index and speed rating. If your car is modified, confirm axle weights and intended top-speed use so the rating is still appropriate.

245/50 R14 can be a limited-availability size, so the mix of summer, all-season and classic-pattern tyres depends on current stock. Use the filters to view the tread type and any classic-focused compounds or period-style patterns available in 245/50 R14.

Possibly, but check rolling diameter, arch clearance, steering lock clearance and wheel width before changing. Moving to 245/50 R14 can alter speedometer readings and gearing, so it is best confirmed by a fitter, and it is usually safer to change tyres in pairs or as a full set.

Most 245/50 R14 tyres are tubeless radials, but some classic wheel types or older rims may require tubes due to their design or condition. Check whether your wheels are tubeless-compatible and follow the tyre and wheel manufacturer guidance before fitting.
