The typical stock tire size for most 2013 Honda Civics with 16-inch wheels is 205/55R16. The performance-oriented Si uses 235/40R18. If your car has 15-inch wheels, you may see 195/65R15. Always verify the exact size on your vehicle’s door jamb sticker or in the owner's manual.
The 2013 Civic lineup includes several trims that use different wheel sizes, which in turn determine the factory tire dimensions. This article explains the common stock sizes by trim and how to confirm the correct size for your specific car.
Tire sizes by trim
The following list shows typical stock tire sizes associated with common wheel configurations for the 2013 Civic. Exact sizes can vary by market, options, and aftermarket wheels, so always verify on your vehicle.
- LX/EX/EX-L trims with 16-inch wheels: 205/55R16
- Si trim with 18-inch wheels: 235/40R18

How to verify the correct size for your car
Use these steps to confirm the exact size on your vehicle, especially if you’ve recently replaced wheels or tires.
- Check the driver’s door jamb sticker for the “Tire Size” listed in the same row as the recommended cold tire pressure.
- Inspect the sidewall of one of the current tires for a size code (for example, P205/55R16).
- Consult the owner's manual or Honda’s official specifications for your trim and year.
- If you’ve changed wheels, ensure the new tires match the recommended diameter to maintain speedometer accuracy and clearance.
Accurate tire sizing also affects performance, fuel economy, and tire wear. When in doubt, a tire professional or Honda dealer can confirm the correct size for your exact vehicle configuration.
Notes on sizing and replacements
When replacing tires, consider load index and speed rating, and avoid mismatched tire sizes that could affect handling or safety. If you install different widths or aspect ratios, re-evaluate alignment and clearance with a professional.
