What size tires are on a Honda Accord Sport?
The tire size on a Honda Accord Sport is not universal; it varies by model year and wheel package. On most recent Accords Sport, you’ll typically see either 18-inch wheels with 235/45R18 or 19-inch wheels with 235/40R19.
In this article, we explain how tire sizing can differ across generations, how to verify the exact size for your car, and what to consider when replacing tires.
Common tire sizes for the Accord Sport
These are the two sizes most commonly observed on Sport trims with stock wheels in recent years. Exact sizing depends on the year, trim level, and optional wheel package.
- 235/45R18 on 18-inch wheels
- 235/40R19 on 19-inch wheels
Note that some markets or earlier generations may use different sizes or alternate tire options depending on the configuration. Always verify for your specific vehicle.
How to confirm the exact size for your vehicle
Use the following methods to confirm the precise tire size for your Honda Accord Sport:
1) Check the door jamb placard
Open the driver's door and read the sticker on the door jamb. It lists the standard tire size, recommended pressure, and load ratings for your car. This is the most reliable source for your vehicle's factory spec.
2) Inspect the tire sidewall
The size is printed on the sidewall in a format like P235/40R19. The numbers indicate width, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter. Note variations for run-flat or performance tires.
3) Consult the owner's manual or build sheet
The manual provides the standard tire size and any alternatives for different wheel packages or market-specific versions. The build sheet will show the exact spec for your car when available.
4) VIN-based lookup or dealer confirmation
Your VIN can be used on Honda's official site or by a dealer to retrieve the exact factory tire size and permissible alternates for your car, including regional differences.
Notes on replacements and compatibility
When replacing tires, use the same size and rating as recommended by Honda. Mixing sizes or changing the wheel diameter can affect speedometer readings, handling, and traction. If upgrading or changing tire brands, ensure they meet or exceed the OEM specifications.
Summary
The Honda Accord Sport commonly ships with 18-inch wheels wearing 235/45R18 or 19-inch wheels wearing 235/40R19, though exact sizes vary by year, market, and wheel package. Always verify with the door placard, tire sidewall, owner's manual, or dealer to ensure you replace tires with the correct specifications for your specific vehicle.
