The 2015 Honda CR-V uses two main factory tire sizes depending on trim and wheel size: 205/65R16 for the 16-inch wheels on the base LX, and larger sizes for higher trims with 17- or 18-inch wheels (commonly 235/60R17 or 235/60R18). Always verify the exact size shown on the door jamb placard for your specific vehicle.
In detail, tire sizing on the 2015 CR-V varies by trim level and the wheel diameter installed from the factory. The LX trim typically rides on 16-inch wheels with 205/65R16 tires. Higher trims equipped with larger wheels use wider, lower-profile tires suited to the 17-inch or 18-inch wheels. Market variations and optional packages can affect the exact specification, so checking the recommended size in the owner’s manual or on the tire placard is the most reliable method.
Tire sizes by trim and wheel size
The following are common factory tire sizes associated with typical wheel sizes for the 2015 CR-V. Use these as a guide, but confirm the exact size on your vehicle’s placard.
- 16-inch wheels (LX): 205/65R16

Note that some configurations or regional variations may differ slightly. Always confirm with the door jamb placard or the owner's manual to ensure the correct tire size for your specific 2015 CR-V.
How to confirm the exact size on your vehicle
If you’re unsure which size applies to your car, locate the tire information placard on the driver’s door jamb. It lists the standard tire size, load index, and speed rating for front and rear tires. You can also check the owner’s manual or consult a Honda dealer for your VIN-specific tire specification.
Other considerations
When replacing tires, try to match the OEM size to maintain handling, safety, and fuel economy. If you replace with a different size, be mindful of speedometer accuracy, traction control behavior, and warranty implications. If in doubt, seek professional guidance to choose an appropriate size that fits your wheels and drivetrain configuration.
Summary: For the 2015 Honda CR-V, expect 205/65R16 on the LX with 16-inch wheels, 235/60R17 on 17-inch setups, and 235/60R18 on 18-inch configurations such as EX-L Navi and Touring. Always verify the exact size on the door placard or in the owner’s manual before purchasing tires.
