205/55 R17 Winterreifen – Gebraucht

The tire size 205/55 R17 is a common winter dimension in the compact and mid-range segment and is used in numerous European, Japanese, and Korean models. With its balanced width and stable 55-series aspect ratio, it ensures reliable traction, precise handling, safe braking distances, and balanced comfort on wintry roads.

Since many vehicles in this size are used as daily drivers, company cars, taxis, or hybrid vehicles, a detailed technical inspection of used winter tires is essential. Reifenshop Landshut ensures that every used model has sufficient remaining tread depth, an intact siping structure, an undamaged carcass, and OEM-compliant rolling circumference values so that it can be used safely in winter operation.

This tire size is also very common in front-wheel drive vehicles and some all-wheel drive variants that are sensitive to tread height and run-out deviations.
