The stock tire sizes for a 2015 Honda CR‑V vary by trim: LX uses 205/65R16, EX and EX‑L use 225/65R17, and the Touring model uses 235/60R18.
The 2015 CR‑V sits in Honda’s fourth-generation lineup and offered multiple wheel-and-tire configurations to match different trim levels and market specs. This article explains the standard sizes by trim, how to verify the exact size on your vehicle, and what to consider when replacing tires.
Stock tire sizes by trim
The following list outlines the typical original equipment tire sizes for the 2015 CR‑V, based on common configurations. If your vehicle has aftermarket wheels or a different market specification, sizes may differ.
- LX — 205/65R16 tires on 16-inch wheels
- EX — 225/65R17 tires on 17-inch wheels
- EX‑L — 225/65R17 tires on 17-inch wheels
- Touring — 235/60R18 tires on 18-inch wheels
For best results, always check the tire information placard on the driver’s door jamb or consult the owner's manual. These sources show the exact size for your specific vehicle configuration, including any regional variations.
Notes on replacement and verification
When replacing tires, you can generally use the same size as the original equipment or a compatible alternative that keeps the overall diameter within about 3% of the stock size to preserve speedometer accuracy and handling characteristics. If in doubt, consult a tire professional or your Honda dealer before purchasing.
Why sizes vary across trims
Honda used different wheel packages across trims to balance ride quality, road noise, and handling. LX’s smaller 16-inch wheels prioritize comfort and efficiency, while EX/EX‑L’s 17-inch wheels offer improved handling and appearance. The Touring model’s 18-inch wheels provide a sportier look and steering feel, at the possible expense of ride comfort on rough roads.
How to verify your tire size today
Look at the sidewall of your current tires for the size marking (for example, 205/65R16). You can also find the original equipment size on the door jamb sticker on the driver’s side or in the owner’s manual. If you’re unsure, a dealership or tire shop can confirm your vehicle’s exact specification.
Summary
The 2015 Honda CR‑V’s stock tire sizes depend on the trim: LX uses 205/65R16, EX and EX‑L use 225/65R17, and Touring uses 235/60R18. Always verify with the door placard or owner’s manual for your exact configuration.
Bottom line: Tire sizes for the 2015 CR‑V are trim-specific and wheel-size dependent. Use the door sticker or manual to confirm, especially if your vehicle has aftermarket wheels or regional differences.
