There isn’t one universal size for all 2016 Civics—the size varies by trim and market.
In the U.S. market for that model year, common configurations included 16-inch wheels with 205/55R16, 17-inch wheels with 215/45R17, and the sportier Si used 235/40R18. The exact size for your car is indicated on the tire placard on the door jamb or in the owner's manual, and can vary for different trims and option packages.
Common tire sizes by trim
These sizes reflect typical factory specifications for the main trims you’ll encounter on a 2016 Civic in the United States.
- LX (with 16-inch wheels): 205/55R16
- EX, EX-T, and Touring (with 17-inch wheels): 215/45R17
- Si (sport model): 235/40R18
The sizes above reflect factory recommendations for common US configurations. Some markets or optional wheel packages may have minor variations, so check the sticker on the driver’s door jamb for the precise specification.
Verifying the exact tire size on your car
Where to look on the vehicle
To ensure you replace or rotate tires correctly, verify the exact size that’s currently on your car, especially if you’ve upgraded wheels or changed trims. The door jamb placard shows the recommended size for the original tires, and the Owner’s Manual has a tire information section with the tire size code and load index.
