Welcome!
That tire size sounds way off, seems like the stock size should be 205/65 R15.

Dear Jim,

You are absolutely right, it is 205/65 R15. Sorry for the oversight.

Rgds,
Mannil

Tks for the advice and will there be any chances of demerits, as regards veh design/comfort, if I go for 215/50/17?

17 inch wheels with low-profile tires are a very different look, so that's completly up to you. TireRack.com has something where you can see pictures of your car with different wheels, to get some idea.

The short sidewall gives a harsher ride. You feel the cracks in the pavement more clearly. Good or bad? That's up to you. Sharper steering response, in exchange for less comfort. Your choice.
