The Honda HR-V does not have a single universal tire size; it varies by model year, trim level, and market. In general, HR-Vs use 16- to 18-inch wheels with OEM tires roughly ranging from about 205/60R16 up to 235/50R18. The exact size for your vehicle is listed on the driver’s door jamb placard and in the owner's manual or official spec sheets.
How to find the exact tire size for your HR-V
The most reliable way to confirm the correct size is to check the official labels and documentation for your specific car.
- Look for the “TIRE SIZE” information on the driver’s door jamb placard. This plate lists the exact size recommended by Honda for your vehicle's configuration.
- Check the owner’s manual or maintenance booklet, which also lists the standard OEM tire size for your trim and year.
- Inspect the sidewall of your current tires; the size is printed on the tire’s sidewall (example: 205/60R16).
- If in doubt, contact a Honda dealer or use Honda’s official parts or support website with your VIN to confirm the exact size for your car.
When replacing tires, ensure any new size matches the vehicle’s recommended load index and speed rating, and consider whether you want to maintain original gear ratios and traction control behavior.
