For the 2017 Honda CR-V sold in the United States, tire size depends on the trim. The LX uses 235/65R17 tires, while EX, EX-L, and Touring trims use 235/60R18 tires.
Overview by trim
The CR-V's wheel-and-tire package varies with trim level, reflecting different factory wheel sizes and overall diameter. Here's how it breaks down:
- LX: 235/65R17 tires on 17-inch wheels.
- EX, EX-L, Touring: 235/60R18 tires on 18-inch wheels.
Note: Always verify with the placard on the driver's door jamb or the owner's manual for your exact vehicle, as regional options or dealer-installed packages can change the spec.
What to consider when replacing tires
When shopping for replacements, size accuracy matters. If you replace with a different size, you may affect the speedometer, ABS/traction control calibration, and overall handling. Honda generally recommends sticking to the OE size for your trim, or consulting a tire professional if considering an alternative that still meets the vehicle's load and speed ratings.
- Match the OE size for your trim: 235/65R17 (LX) or 235/60R18 (EX/EX-L/Touring).
- Check the load index and speed rating to suit your driving needs and regional conditions.
- Consider the tire type (all-season, touring, etc.) the vehicle is designed to use; mismatched types can affect performance.
Sticking to the recommended sizes helps preserve fuel economy, ride quality, and safety.

The 2017 Honda CR-V's tire sizes hinge on trim: LX uses 235/65R17; EX, EX-L, and Touring use 235/60R18. Always confirm the exact specification on the door placard or owner's manual before purchasing tires.
