What size tires are on a 2013 Subaru BRZ?

The 2013 Subaru BRZ comes equipped with 215/45R17 tires as standard. This tire size provides a good balance of performance, handling, and comfort for this sporty rear-wheel-drive coupe.


Tire Size Specifications


The 215/45R17 tire size on the 2013 Subaru BRZ has the following key specifications:



  • 215 - The tire width in millimeters

  • 45 - The aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire's sidewall height to the tread width

  • R - Indicates a radial tire construction

  • 17 - The wheel diameter in inches that the tire is designed to fit


This tire size provides a good balance of performance, handling, and comfort for the BRZ's lightweight, sporty design. The 215mm width gives the car responsive steering and good grip, while the 45 aspect ratio provides a comfortable ride quality.


Tire Upgrade Options


While the stock 215/45R17 tires are well-suited for the 2013 Subaru BRZ, some owners may choose to upgrade to a larger tire size for improved performance:



  • 225/45R17 - Slightly wider tire for more grip

  • 225/40R18 - Larger 18-inch wheel diameter for a sportier look and feel

  • 235/40R18 - Even wider tire for maximum grip and performance


However, it's important to ensure any tire upgrades are compatible with the BRZ's suspension and braking system. Consulting with a tire or automotive specialist is recommended before making any changes.
