What tires does Honda come with?

Honda vehicles ship with original equipment tires tailored to each model and market; there isn’t a single tire brand or model that all Hondas come with.


Because Honda collaborates with multiple tire suppliers and adjusts specifications by model year and region, the exact tire you get on a new Honda can differ. To confirm the tire currently on your car—or to choose a replacement that matches the factory setup—check your vehicle’s documentation, the door jamb label, or contact a Honda dealer.


Factors that determine the original equipment tires on a Honda


The following factors influence which tires are installed at the factory for a given Honda configuration.



  • Model and generation-year: Different models and generations use different tire sizes and tread types.

  • Trim level and options: Sport or touring trims may include different tires to balance handling versus ride comfort.

  • Market or region: Tire selection can vary by country or region due to homologation and supplier agreements.

  • Tire size, load rating and speed rating: These specs are dictated by the vehicle’s wheel and suspension design.

  • Season and climate: All-season tires are common, but some markets or trims use winter tires or run-flat tires where applicable.

  • OE tire supplier partnerships: Honda coordinates with several tire manufacturers; the brand and model are not fixed across all Hondas.


In short, the exact tire depends on the car’s model, trim, year and where it is sold. The best way to know the OEM tire for your car is to check the official sources for your specific VIN and model.


How to identify your Honda’s original equipment tires


Use these steps to confirm the exact tire installed on your vehicle now or to order the correct replacement that matches the factory setup.



  1. Check the door jamb sticker on the driver’s side for the recommended tire size and inflation pressures for your model; it helps you identify the OEM size you should use even if the brand differs.

  2. Consult the owner’s manual or the vehicle’s build sheet for the original equipment tire model and size information.

  3. Inspect the tires’ sidewalls to read the brand and tire model name currently installed on the vehicle.

  4. Use Honda’s VIN-based parts lookup or contact your local Honda dealer to verify the exact OEM tire for your exact VIN and trim.

  5. If replacing tires, ensure the new tires match the size, load index and speed rating of the original equipment, or consult a dealer for approved alternatives that preserve safety and warranties.


Following these steps will help ensure you maintain the factory handling, ride, and warranty protections when replacing tires.


Summary


There isn’t a single tire that all Honda vehicles come with. The factory tires depend on model, year, trim, region, and tire supplier agreements. To know the exact OEM tire for your car, verify the door jamb sticker, consult the owner's manual or build sheet, and, if needed, contact a Honda dealer or use VIN-based parts lookup. When replacing tires, aim to match the original size and ratings or seek guidance from a dealer to keep performance and warranty intact.
