The most common OEM tire sizes for the 2013 Honda Pilot are 245/65R17 for 17-inch wheels and 245/60R18 for 18-inch wheels. Always check the driver’s door placard or your owner’s manual to confirm the exact size for your specific trim and wheel setup.
Tire sizes by wheel diameter
Below is a quick guide to the two primary wheel sizes you’re likely to encounter on a 2013 Pilot. Use these as a starting point, but verify the exact specification on your vehicle.
- 17-inch wheels: 245/65R17
- 18-inch wheels: 245/60R18
These sizes cover the majority of 2013 Pilots with the standard equipment. If your Pilot has a non-standard wheel package or aftermarket wheels, the size may differ and should be confirmed before purchasing tires.
Other considerations when replacing tires
When selecting replacement tires, consider factors beyond the width and diameter, including load rating, speed rating, and intended use. The following points help ensure proper fit and performance.
- Load index and speed rating: Match or exceed the OEM specification to maintain load capacity and performance.
- Tire type and season: All-season tires are typical for daily driving; winter tires require appropriate sizing and may be the same or a different size depending on the setup.
- Wheel and diameter consistency: If you change wheel size (e.g., from 17" to 18"), ensure the overall diameter remains within about ±3% of the original to avoid speedometer errors and ABS/traction control issues.
When in doubt, consult your vehicle’s manual or a tire professional to confirm the correct size for your trim and wheel configuration.
Summary
For a 2013 Honda Pilot, the typical factory tire sizes are 245/65R17 on 17-inch wheels and 245/60R18 on 18-inch wheels. Always verify the exact size using the door placard or owner’s manual, especially if your Pilot has non-standard wheels or a special trim. Proper sizing ensures safety, correct speedometer reading, and optimal tire performance.
