This article explains those sizes, how they vary by trim, and how to verify the correct specification for your vehicle.
Factory tire sizes by trim
The 2018 HR-V’s tire sizes are tied to its wheel and trim configuration. Below are the typical stock sizes for U.S.-market models, with note of where variations may occur due to regional specs or optional wheel packages.
- LX: 205/60R16 tires on 16x6-inch alloy wheels
- EX and EX-L: 215/55R17 tires on 17x6.5-inch alloy wheels
These sizes reflect the factory specifications most commonly found on 2018 HR-Vs sold in North America. If your HR-V has different wheels or was purchased in a different market, sizes may vary slightly.
How to verify the tire size on your specific HR-V
To confirm your vehicle’s exact tire size, check the driver’s door jamb placard for the recommended sizes and consult your owner’s manual. You can also inspect the sidewall of the current tires, which will display the size (for example, 205/60R16 or 215/55R17). If you’re changing wheel/tender configurations, keep the overall diameter within a small tolerance of stock to maintain speedometer accuracy and handling.
Summary
In brief, the 2018 Honda HR-V’s stock tire sizes are trim-dependent: LX models typically wear 205/60R16 tires on 16-inch wheels, while EX and EX-L models use 215/55R17 tires on 17-inch wheels. Always verify with your vehicle’s placard or owner’s manual, and consider same-tire-size replacements to preserve performance and accuracy.
