What size tires are on the Acura TL?
The tire size for the Acura TL isn’t fixed across all years and trims. It varies by model-year and factory option package.
Across its three generations, the TL used different wheel-and-tire configurations. To know the exact OEM size for your specific car, check the door jamb tire placard, the owner’s manual, or the sidewall of the current tires. If you tell me the year and trim, I can confirm the precise size used on that configuration.
How tire sizes are determined for the TL
Understanding where the size comes from helps you avoid mismatches when replacing tires. The official size is typically printed on the vehicle placard, tire sidewall, and documented in the owner's manual or via the VIN-based specifications.
Use these steps to locate the official tire size printed on your TL.
- Find the tire size on the door jamb placard (usually on the driver’s door edge or pillar) which lists the front and rear sizes and the recommended pressure.
- Inspect the sidewall of your current tires for the size notation (for example, something like P215/60R16 or 245/50R17).
- Consult the owner’s manual or the inside cover’s Tires and Wheels section for the factory-recommended size.
- If you have access to the vehicle’s VIN, contact an Acura dealer or use Acura’s official site/app to retrieve the OEM tire specification for that VIN.
- When in doubt, verify with a reputable tire retailer or mechanic to ensure replacement sizes are compatible with your wheels and suspension.
Following these steps will ensure you identify the exact OEM tire size for your Acura TL. Using a tire size outside the recommended range can affect handling, speedometer accuracy, and safety.
Notes on generations and options
Over its production run, the TL shifted from smaller, economy-leaning setups to larger, more performance-oriented wheels and tires. Trim packages such as the Type-S and technology-oriented lines often had different wheel sizes and tire profiles compared with base models, and later years moved to even larger wheels in some configurations. Because of these variations, the only reliable source for your car’s exact size is your vehicle’s own placard or VIN-based specification.
Summary
There isn’t a single tire size for the Acura TL. The correct OEM size depends on the model year and trim, and can be found on the door placard, tire sidewalls, or in the owner’s manual. If you share your year and trim, I can provide the precise size used on that configuration.
