What size tires go on a 2015 Honda Fit?
The typical factory tire size for most 2015 Honda Fits is 195/65R15 on 15-inch wheels; if your model has 16-inch wheels, you’ll usually see 205/50R16. Always verify the exact size for your vehicle by checking the door placard or owner’s manual.
The 2015 Honda Fit was offered with different wheel-and-tire configurations depending on trim and wheel package. While 15-inch setups were common on base and mid trims, some wheel packages and Sport models used 16-inch wheels with larger tires. To ensure accuracy, confirm the exact size specified for your VIN, and be mindful of any aftermarket wheels that may require a different size.

How to verify your vehicle’s exact size
To confirm the precise tire size for your specific 2015 Fit, use these steps. The exact size can vary by trim, wheel package, and aftermarket changes.
- Check the tire sidewall: the size is printed on the tire, e.g., 195/65R15 or 205/50R16.
- Look at the door jamb placard on the driver’s door edge or pillar: it lists the recommended tire size for your vehicle as equipped from the factory.
- Consult the owner’s manual or build sheet (VIN-based) for your specific trim and wheel package.
- Ask a Honda dealer or a trusted tire shop if you’re unsure about your exact configuration.
Using the correct size helps preserve speedometer accuracy, ABS functioning, and overall ride quality. If you’re considering a different size, factor in the possible need for recalibration or alignment adjustments.
Notes on replacements and performance considerations
Beyond size, pay attention to load rating, speed rating, and tread type. Original equipment tires are chosen to balance ride comfort, fuel economy, and handling characteristics for the Fit. If you replace with a different size, you may need to adjust inflation pressures and verify clearance in the wheel well, fenders, and suspension components.
- Match or exceed the original load index and speed rating where possible.
- Maintain a similar overall diameter to avoid speedometer error and traction issues.
- Choose all-season tires for year-round use, or seasonal tires as appropriate for your climate.
Professional guidance is recommended when changing sizes or wheel dimensions beyond OE specifications.
Summary
In short, for a 2015 Honda Fit, most models with 15-inch wheels use 195/65R15 tires, while models with 16-inch wheels typically use 205/50R16 tires. Always confirm the exact specification on the door placard or in the owner’s manual for your specific trim and wheel package, and consult a tire professional if you’re considering any non-standard size.
