Most 2006 Honda Odysseys use one of two factory tire sizes depending on wheel size: 215/65R16 on 16-inch wheels and 235/60R17 on 17-inch wheels. The exact size varies by trim and wheel package.
In this article, we outline the factory tire sizes by trim, show how to confirm the correct size on your specific vehicle, and offer guidance for choosing replacement tires that match Honda’s specifications.
Factory tire sizes by trim
Note: The following sizes reflect typical factory specifications for the 2006 Odyssey. If your vehicle has aftermarket wheels or a different trim, verify with the door jamb placard or owner's manual.
- 16‑inch wheel configuration (common on LX and EX): 215/65R16
- 17‑inch wheel configuration (found on EX-L with Navi and Touring): 235/60R17
These sizes correspond to standard wheel setups. If your Odyssey uses a different wheel size, the tire width and aspect ratio may differ, so always confirm the exact specification for your vehicle.
How to verify the tire size on your 2006 Odyssey
To confirm your tire size, check the driver-side door jamb placard for the recommended size, or inspect the sidewall of your current tires—the size is printed as a sequence like P215/65R16. The owner's manual and your vehicle’s VIN can also help verify the correct size and any alternatives approved by Honda.
When replacing tires, make sure the chosen size matches the OEM specifications or Honda-approved equivalents to maintain safety and performance.
Tire replacement considerations
Before selecting replacements, consider the following factors to ensure compatibility and safety:
- Load index and speed rating should meet or exceed the vehicle’s requirements, as listed on the door placard and owner’s manual.
- Tread pattern and tire type (all-season, touring, or performance) should match your driving conditions and climate.
- Maintain the original wheel diameter (16" or 17") to preserve ride characteristics and ABS/traction control performance.
- If you mix tire sizes on opposite axles, you may affect handling and safety systems; consult a professional for guidance.
Always verify with a tire professional or Honda service center if you’re unsure about replacements.
Summary
The 2006 Honda Odyssey typically uses 215/65R16 tires on 16-inch wheels and 235/60R17 tires on 17-inch wheels, with exact sizing depending on trim and wheel package. Confirm the proper size by checking the door jamb placard or the owner’s manual, and choose replacements that match OEM specifications or Honda-approved equivalents to ensure safety and performance.
