What are the standard tires on a Subaru Crosstrek?

The standard tires on most Crosstrek models are 225/60R17 on 17-inch wheels; higher trims with 18-inch wheels use 225/55R18. Exact sizing depends on year and trim, so check the door placard or owner's manual for your vehicle.


As the Crosstrek has evolved across generations, Subaru has offered different wheel/tire packages. The following overview covers typical factory sizes you are likely to encounter on current models, with notes about variations by trim and market.


Tire sizes by wheel size


The following outlines the standard tire sizes associated with the Crosstrek's common wheel configurations.



  • 17-inch wheel configuration — standard tire size 225/60R17 (all-season). This size is typical on base and mid-range trims that roll on 17-inch wheels.

  • 18-inch wheel configuration — standard tire size 225/55R18 (all-season). This size is used on Sport, Limited, and other trims with 18-inch wheels.


Note: Exact tire size can vary by model year and regional market. Always verify your vehicle's stock size from the door placard or owner's manual.


Regional variations


Outside some markets, tire sizing may differ due to local suppliers, climate, or regulations. Always confirm with a local dealer or Subaru's official specifications for your country.


How to verify your Crosstrek's exact stock tire size


Use these steps to confirm the correct factory tire size for your Crosstrek:



  • Check the tire placard on the driver's door jamb for the recommended sizes.

  • Consult the owner's manual or the official Subaru spec sheet for your model year and trim.

  • Inspect the sidewall of the current tires; the size (for example, 225/60R17 or 225/55R18) is printed on the sidewall and should match your wheel size.


If in doubt, contact a Subaru dealer or a tire professional to ensure you’re using the correct stock size and load rating for your Crosstrek.


Summary: For most Crosstrek trims today, stock sizes are 225/60R17 on 17-inch wheels and 225/55R18 on 18-inch wheels, with variations by year and market. Always verify with the door placard and official specs.
