What tires does the Honda Accord come with?

Most new Honda Accords (U.S. market, 2023–2025) are factory-equipped with all-season tires in two main sizes: 225/50R17 on LX, EX, and EX-L Hybrid trims, and 235/40R19 on Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid trims; the exact tire brand varies by production batch (commonly Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Continental, or Hankook). This reflects the 11th-generation Accord’s move to standard hybrids on upper trims and a comfort-oriented setup on entry and mid-level models.

Factory tire sizes on the current Honda Accord (U.S., 2023–2025)

The latest 11th-generation Accord uses two primary wheel-and-tire packages. The trims below reflect Honda’s current U.S. lineup; outside the U.S. (or for fleet models), sizes and availability can differ.

  • LX: 17-inch wheels — 225/50R17 all-season tires
  • EX: 17-inch wheels — 225/50R17 all-season tires
  • EX-L Hybrid: 17-inch wheels — 225/50R17 all-season tires
  • Sport Hybrid: 19-inch wheels — 235/40R19 all-season tires
  • Sport-L Hybrid: 19-inch wheels — 235/40R19 all-season tires
  • Touring Hybrid: 19-inch wheels — 235/40R19 all-season tires

In practice, this means most comfort-focused trims ride on 17-inch grand-touring all-season rubber, while performance-leaning hybrid trims carry lower-profile 19-inch all-season tires for a sharper look and handling feel.

What brands and models are fitted from the factory?

Honda sources original equipment (OE) tires from multiple suppliers, so the brand and specific model you receive can vary even within the same trim. The tires are almost always all-season types designed for ride, noise, and efficiency. Common OE fits observed on recent Accords include:

  • 17-inch fitment (225/50R17): Michelin Primacy A/S or Primacy Tour A/S, Hankook Kinergy GT (H436), Continental ProContact TX, Bridgestone Turanza EL440
  • 19-inch fitment (235/40R19): Goodyear Eagle Touring, Michelin Primacy Tour A/S, Continental ProContact TX, Bridgestone Turanza (various OE-designated models)

Because OE tires are supply-dependent, two identical trims built in different months or plants may carry different brands. The sidewall of your tire will list the exact brand and model fitted.

Older Accord generations: typical OE sizes

If you’re shopping used or comparing generations, these were the common factory sizes for the previous two generations in the U.S. (some packages and special editions may vary):

  • 2018–2022 (10th generation): 225/50R17 on LX/EX/EX-L; 235/40R19 on Sport/Touring
  • 2013–2017 (9th generation): 205/65R16 on LX; 215/55R17 on EX/EX-L; 235/45R18 on Sport/Touring

These patterns mirror today’s approach: comfort trims on taller sidewalls, sport/touring trims on larger wheels with lower-profile tires.

How to confirm your Accord’s tires

Because OE tire brands and even sizes can vary with market, trim package, and build date, it’s best to verify your specific vehicle’s equipment using a few simple checks:

  • Read the tire sidewall for size (e.g., 225/50R17) and brand/model name.
  • Check the driver’s door-jamb tire placard for the factory tire size and load/speed specs.
  • Consult the owner’s manual for trim-by-trim tire specifications.
  • Use your VIN on Honda’s owner site or ask a dealer to confirm your car’s build spec.

These sources will give you the definitive answer for your specific car and market.

Seasonal and performance notes

The Accord ships with all-season tires by default in the U.S. If you live in a region with severe winters, consider a dedicated winter tire set matching your wheel size. Likewise, drivers seeking sharper warm-weather grip on Sport or Touring models sometimes switch to summer performance tires in the same OE sizes (consult a tire professional to maintain load and speed ratings).

Summary

In the current U.S. lineup (2023–2025), Honda equips the Accord with 225/50R17 all-season tires on LX, EX, and EX-L Hybrid trims and 235/40R19 all-season tires on Sport Hybrid, Sport-L Hybrid, and Touring Hybrid trims. OE tire brands vary—commonly Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Continental, or Hankook—so check your tire sidewall or door-jamb placard to confirm exactly what your Accord came with.
