What size are Honda HR-V tires?
Most Honda HR-V models on the road today use 16- or 17-inch wheels, with the tire size varying by year and trim. The two most common stock sizes are 205/60R16 for base models and 215/55R17 for higher trims, but the exact specification should be confirmed on the door placard or in the owner's manual for your specific vehicle.
Common stock tire sizes by wheel diameter
Here is a straightforward guide to the sizes you are most likely to encounter on recent HR-V configurations, based on wheel diameter.
- 16-inch wheels: typically 205/60R16 tires on base LX and related trims
- 17-inch wheels: typically 215/55R17 tires on higher trims such as EX and EX-L
The exact size may vary by market or model year, and some configurations or packages may differ. Always confirm with the vehicle’s door placard or the owner's manual for your specific build.
How to verify the exact tire size for your HR-V
To ensure you get the correct tires and avoid clearance or speedometer issues, verify the size directly on the car and in the official documentation.
- Check the driver’s door jamb placard: it lists the recommended tire size for your vehicle as it was originally equipped.
- Consult the owner's manual: it contains the recommended tire size and any alternate sizes for different wheel options.
- Inspect the sidewall of your current tires: the size is printed in a format like P205/60R16 or 215/55R17.
- When in doubt, ask a Honda dealer or tire professional: they can confirm the correct size for year, trim, and wheel package.
If you plan a wheel upgrade or tire change, consider overall diameter, load index, and speed rating to maintain proper handling and speedometer accuracy.
Regional variations and model-year changes
Honda has occasionally adjusted wheel and tire configurations for different markets and across model years. For VIN-specific guidance, always verify against the door placard and the official specifications for your exact HR-V.
Summary
The most common stock tire sizes for the Honda HR-V are 205/60R16 on 16-inch wheels and 215/55R17 on 17-inch wheels. Always verify the exact size for your vehicle by checking the door placard, owner's manual, or VIN-specific Honda documentation, especially if your model year or wheel package differs.
