What kind of tires are on a 2017 Honda Civic?

The 2017 Honda Civic came from the factory with different tire sizes and types depending on body style and trim. Most sedans and coupes use 215/55R16 or 215/50R17 all-season tires, performance-oriented trims (Hatchback Sport/Sport Touring and Si) use 235/40R18, and the Type R uses 245/30ZR20 max-performance summer tires. OEM brands varied by trim and region, commonly including Firestone FT140, Continental ProContact/ContiProContact, Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season (Si), and Continental ContiSportContact 6 (Type R).

Factory tire sizes by body style and trim

Honda fitted the 2017 Civic with specific tire sizes tied to its wheels and performance targets. The list below outlines the typical original equipment (OE) sizes for U.S.-market models; exact fitment can vary slightly by production batch and region.

• Sedan (LX, LX-P): 215/55R16 (16-inch wheels)
• Sedan (EX, EX-T, EX-L, Touring): 215/50R17 (17-inch wheels)
• Coupe (LX, LX-P): 215/55R16 (16-inch wheels)
• Coupe (EX, EX-T, EX-L): 215/50R17 (17-inch wheels)
• Coupe Touring: 235/40R18 (18-inch wheels)
• Hatchback LX: 215/55R16 (16-inch wheels)
• Hatchback EX, EX-L Navi: 215/50R17 (17-inch wheels)
• Hatchback Sport, Sport Touring: 235/40R18 (18-inch wheels)
• Si (Sedan and Coupe): 235/40R18 (18-inch wheels)
• Type R: 245/30ZR20 (20-inch wheels)

These sizes reflect Honda’s balance of ride comfort, efficiency, grip, and steering response for each trim. If your wheels have been changed by a prior owner, confirm the current size on the tire sidewall and door placard.

Common OEM tire models fitted from the factory

Honda sourced tires from multiple manufacturers for the 2017 Civic. The exact model may vary by plant and region, but the following are representative of what owners commonly find as original equipment.

• Firestone FT140: Frequently supplied on 16-inch and some 17-inch all-season fitments (e.g., LX/EX sedans and coupes).
• Continental ProContact TX / ContiProContact: Common on 17-inch and some 18-inch all-season fitments (EX/EX-L/Touring and certain hatchbacks).
• Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season: Often fitted to the Civic Si’s 235/40R18 size in the U.S.
• Continental ContiSportContact 6: Factory max-performance summer tire on the Civic Type R (245/30ZR20) in the U.S.; other markets may see equivalent high-performance options.

Because OEM tire sourcing can rotate during a model year, your car may have come with a different but equivalent tire of the same size and performance category.

How to verify your exact size and pressure

To be certain which tires your 2017 Civic should use—and the correct inflation pressures—check these sources on your car.

1. Open the driver’s door and read the tire-and-loading information placard. It lists the factory tire size(s) and cold inflation pressures.
2. Read the sidewall of your current tires for size (e.g., 215/50R17 91V) and type (all-season, summer).
3. Consult the owner’s manual for approved sizes and any seasonal recommendations.
4. If wheels have been changed, have a tire professional confirm clearance, load index, and speed rating meet or exceed Honda specs.

The door placard and owner’s manual are the definitive references; they account for your specific trim and any factory performance package.

Tire categories and what they mean

Honda matched tire type to each Civic variant’s mission. Here’s how the categories map to typical trims.

• All-season touring (16″/17″): Prioritizes comfort, tread life, and efficiency; common on LX/EX/EX-L/Touring sedans and coupes, and non-Sport hatchbacks.
• Ultra-high-performance (UHP) all-season (18″): Blends sharper handling with year-round usability; often found on Civic Si and Hatchback Sport/Sport Touring in some markets.
• Max-performance summer (20″): Delivers maximum dry/wet grip at the expense of cold-weather usability; fitted to the Civic Type R.

Select replacements that match your driving needs and climate; do not run summer tires in freezing conditions.

Replacement and winter tire guidance

When replacing tires on a 2017 Civic, stick to Honda-approved sizes and ensure load index and speed rating meet or exceed OE specifications. Consider these options by use case.

• Daily driving (sedan/coupe 16″/17″): Quality all-season touring tires for comfort, longevity, and fuel economy.
• Sporty street use (Si and 18″ Sport trims): UHP all-season for year-round versatility or max-performance summer for warm climates.
• Type R: Stay with max-performance summer for track/spirited warm-weather driving; consider a second wheel set for winter or track use.
• Snow-belt regions: Dedicated winter tires (often one size narrower for better bite) mounted as a set of four.

Maintaining proper alignment, rotating on schedule, and keeping pressures at the placard values will maximize performance and tire life.

Summary

The 2017 Honda Civic’s factory tire depends on trim: 215/55R16 or 215/50R17 all-season tires for most sedans and coupes; 235/40R18 for Hatchback Sport/Sport Touring and the Si; and 245/30ZR20 max-performance summer tires for the Type R. OEM brands commonly include Firestone, Continental, and Goodyear. Verify your exact size and pressures on the driver’s door placard and tire sidewall.
