In the landing phase a strong cross wind gust hit my tail and caused the nose of my plane to turn sharply left. This caused my left tire to leave the runway. I maintained a parallel track with Runway 5 and exited on Taxiway A then B to parking. I held right rudder but was unable to fully correct my path back onto Runway 5.
C177 pilot reported runway excursion on landing.
