Why “standard” tire size varies on the Accord
Honda equips the Accord with different wheel and tire packages depending on trim and model year—typically smaller, comfort-oriented tires on entry trims and larger, performance-oriented tires on Sport and top trims. Mid-cycle refreshes can also change wheel diameter, so two cars from the same generation may list different factory sizes. Always verify your specific car’s size on the driver’s door-jamb placard or in the owner’s manual.

How to confirm the exact tire size on your Accord
Because trims and options change year to year, use these quick checks to confirm your car’s correct, safe tire size.
- Check the driver’s door-jamb placard for tire size and recommended pressures.
- Look in the owner’s manual under “Specifications” or “Tires and Wheels.”
- Match the current tire sidewall code (for example, 225/50R17 94V) to OEM spec; avoid relying solely on what’s mounted if you’re unsure of prior changes.
- Use your VIN on Honda’s owner site or a dealer’s parts department to pull the factory tire size for your exact trim.
These steps ensure you buy tires that match the car’s suspension tuning, speedometer calibration and load rating for safety and performance.
What the numbers mean
In a size like 225/50R17, “225” is the tread width in millimeters, “50” is the sidewall aspect ratio (percentage of width), “R” indicates radial construction, and “17” is the wheel diameter in inches. Staying with the factory diameter and load/speed ratings preserves ride, handling and safety systems like ABS and stability control.
Summary
Most modern Honda Accords use 225/50R17 on base and mid trims and 235/40R19 on Sport and top trims, with older 2013–2017 LX models commonly using 205/65R16. Because sizing varies by year and trim, confirm your exact spec on the driver’s door-jamb placard or in the owner’s manual before purchasing tires.
