How to confirm the exact tire size for your vehicle
To ensure you have the correct size, use reliable verification methods. The tire size printed on the sidewall of your current tires, the door jamb sticker on the driver’s side, and the owner's manual are the primary sources. If replacing tires, match the original size and load index specified by Honda unless you have a professional upgrade plan.
- Check the door jamb placard on the driver's side for the original tire size and pressure recommendations.
- Inspect the sidewall of your current tires for the size marking (for example, P245/60R18 or P245/50R20).
- Consult the owner's manual or a Honda service portal for the exact specification for your VIN.
- When replacing tires, choose a size identical to the original unless you are pursuing an approved upgrade with professional guidance.
Practical considerations include ensuring the selected tires meet load and speed requirements and that the overall diameter matches the replaced wheels to maintain accurate ABS readings and speedometer accuracy.

Always verify the exact size for your specific vehicle by checking the door placard, owner's manual, or VIN-based documentation, especially if wheels or tires were swapped.
