What Size Are Stock Honda Tires?

There isn’t a single “stock Honda tire size.” Honda equips each model—and often each trim within a model—with different factory tire sizes. As a rule of thumb, recent Civics run from 215/55R16 to 235/40R18 (Type R: 265/30ZR19), Accords from 225/50R17 to 235/40R19, and CR‑Vs from 235/60R18 to 235/55R19. For the exact size on your car, check the tire-and-loading information sticker on the driver’s door jamb or your owner’s manual. Below is a detailed guide to typical Honda factory sizes and how to find yours with certainty.

Why There Isn’t One “Stock Size” for Honda Tires

Honda’s lineup spans compact cars, minivans, pickups, and SUVs, each engineered with specific wheel and tire packages for handling, efficiency, and ride comfort. Within a single model, wheel diameters and tires vary by trim, option packages, model year refreshes, and regional specifications. Performance variants (Si, Type R, TrailSport) often use wider or more aggressive tires than mainstream trims, and special editions can introduce unique fitments. That’s why the definitive answer is always tied to your exact model, trim, and year.

Typical Factory Tire Sizes by Popular Honda Models (U.S., recent model years)

The following list summarizes common original-equipment tire sizes you’ll see on late-model Hondas sold in the U.S. Exact fitment can vary by trim and year, so use this as a reference and verify on your vehicle’s door-jamb label.

• Accord (2023–2025, incl. Hybrid): commonly 225/50R17 (LX/EX) and 235/40R19 (Sport/Sport-L/Touring).
• Civic Sedan/Hatch (2022–2025): typically 215/55R16 (LX), 225/50R17 (EX/EX-L), 235/40R18 (Sport/Touring). Si: 235/40R18. Type R (2023–2025): 265/30ZR19.
• CR‑V (2017–2025): 235/65R17 (2017–2022 LX), 235/60R18 (most EX/EX‑L/Sport/Sport‑L), 235/55R19 (Touring/Sport Touring).
• HR‑V (2023–2025): 215/60R17 (LX/EX‑L) and 225/55R18 (Sport).
• Pilot: prior gen commonly 245/60R18 (lower trims) or 245/50R20 (Touring/Elite); current gen TrailSport typically 265/60R18 all‑terrain, with many non‑TrailSport trims on 20‑inch wheels with 50‑series tires (commonly 255/50R20 or 265/50R20 depending on trim).
• Odyssey (2018–2025): 235/60R18 (most trims) and 235/55R19 (Elite).
• Ridgeline (2017–2025): widely 245/60R18 across trims; TrailSport variants use the same size with all‑terrain tread.
• Fit (2015–2020, last U.S. years): 185/60R15 (LX) and 185/55R16 (EX/EX‑L).
• Insight (2019–2022): 215/55R16 (LX/EX) and 215/50R17 (Touring).
• Prologue EV (2024–2025): varies by trim; commonly 255/60R19 (19‑inch wheels) or 265/45R21 (21‑inch wheels).

These sizes reflect typical factory specifications seen on U.S. models in recent years. If your car shows something different, it may be due to trim-specific equipment, a prior tire/wheel change, or regional differences.

How to Find the Exact Stock Size for Your Honda

The surest way to confirm your vehicle’s factory tire size is to reference official labels and documentation tied to your specific VIN. Here are the best methods, from quickest to most thorough.

1. Check the tire-and-loading information label on the driver’s door jamb; it lists the OE tire size(s), load index, and recommended pressures.
2. Look in the owner’s manual under “Specifications” or “Tires” for the factory sizes per trim.
3. Use your VIN on Honda’s website or reputable tire retailers’ fitment tools (e.g., Tire Rack, Discount Tire) to pull OE sizes and approved alternates.
4. Call a Honda dealer parts department with your VIN; they can read OE wheel/tire specs directly.
5. Verify what’s mounted on the car against the label; prior owners sometimes upsize or downsize, so trust the label over what’s currently on the rims.

Because safety systems and speedometer accuracy depend on correct sizing, rely on the door-jamb label or official sources rather than guesswork.

Understanding Honda Tire Size Numbers

Tire size codes follow an industry format that tells you width, sidewall height, construction, and wheel diameter. Knowing how to read them helps you confirm you have the right spec.

• Example: 235/60R18 — “235” is the tread width in millimeters.
• “60” is the aspect ratio (sidewall height as a percentage of width).
• “R” denotes radial construction (standard on modern vehicles).
• “18” is the wheel diameter in inches.
• A suffix like 103H indicates load index (103) and speed rating (H); match or exceed the original specs.

When replacing tires, keep the same size, load index, and speed rating listed on your door label unless a qualified professional confirms an approved alternate.

Thinking About Changing Sizes? Key Considerations

Swapping to a different size (“plus-sizing”) can affect ride, handling, and vehicle systems. If you’re considering a change, keep these guidelines in mind.

• Keep overall tire diameter within about ±3% of stock to preserve speedometer/odometer accuracy and transmission shift logic.
• Maintain an equal or higher load index and the same or higher speed rating as OE.
• Confirm clearance for width and diameter at full steering lock and over suspension travel; check brake caliper clearance, too.
• Be mindful of ABS, traction control, and Honda Sensing/ADAS calibration; large deviations can trigger faults or degrade performance.
• Choose tread type for your climate and use (all-season, summer performance, winter, all-terrain) without compromising OE specs.

When in doubt, consult a trusted tire shop or Honda dealer to validate fitment and system compatibility before you buy.

Sources and Notes

Factory sizes above reflect typical U.S.-market specifications published by Honda in owner’s manuals, door-jamb tire labels, and model brochures for recent generations, as well as industry fitment databases used by major tire retailers. Always defer to the tire-and-loading information label on your specific vehicle for the definitive OE size and pressure.

Summary

Stock tire sizes on Hondas vary by model, year, and trim: Civics generally use 16–18 inch fitments (Type R 19 inch), Accords 17–19 inch, CR‑Vs 17–19 inch, with minivans, pickups, and larger SUVs using broader, taller options. To be certain for your car, read the driver’s door-jamb label or the owner’s manual, or verify by VIN with a dealer or reputable tire retailer.

What tires come stock on a Honda Accord?

Wheels and Tires

• The Accord LX is fitted with 17-inch silver-painted alloy wheels; its tires are 225/50 R17 all-season.
• Handsome pewter-painted 17-inch alloys are standard on Accord EX and EX-L; they’re surrounded by 225/50 R17 all-season tires.

What size tire does a Honda have?

Honda vehicles come with a variety of tire sizes depending on the model and trim level. For example, Honda Accords may use 195/65R15, 205/65R15, 205/60R16, 215/60R16, 215/50R17, or 235/45ZR17 tires. Honda CR-Vs might have 235/65R17, 235/60R18, or 235/55R19 tires. Honda Civics typically use 205/55R16, 215/55R16, or 215/50R17 tires. To find the exact tire size for your specific Honda, consult your owner’s manual, the sticker on the driver’s side doorjamb, or the tire sidewall. 
To determine the correct tire size for your Honda, you can:

1. Check the driver’s side doorjamb: This sticker usually lists the original equipment tire size and recommended inflation pressure. 
2. Consult your owner’s manual: This will provide detailed information about the correct tire sizes for your specific vehicle model and trim. 
3. Examine the sidewall of your current tires: The tire size is imprinted on the sidewall of the tire. 

Understanding Tire Size:

• The first letter (e.g., “P”) indicates the type of vehicle (P = passenger vehicle). 
• The first three numbers (e.g., “225”) represent the tire’s width in millimeters. 
• The next two numbers (e.g., “/50”) indicate the aspect ratio, which is the tire’s height as a percentage of its width. 
• The “R” signifies a radial tire construction. 
• The final two numbers (e.g., “17”) represent the wheel diameter in inches. 

What tires come standard on a Honda Civic?

The FE/FL Honda Civic comes equipped with 215/55R16, 215/50R17, 235/40ZR18 and 235/40R18 tire sizes.

What are Honda OEM tires?

Original equipment (OE) tires refer to the tires that come with your Honda when it is sold new. When it is time to replace these tires, Honda recommends identical OE tires, available for purchase at your local Honda dealer.
