The most common OEM sizes for the 2016 Honda Fit are 195/65R15 on LX models with 15-inch wheels and 195/60R16 on EX/EX-L models with 16-inch wheels. Always verify the exact size on your car’s door placard or in the owner's manual.
In 2016, the Honda Fit GK was offered with two primary wheel options for US-market cars. The LX trim ships with 15-inch wheels and 195/65R15 tires, while EX and EX-L trims ride on 16-inch wheels with 195/60R16 tires. Market variations and aftermarket configurations can lead to different sizes, so checking the placard is the best practice.
Factory tire sizes by trim
The following sizes reflect the most common US-market configurations for the 2016 Fit, depending on the wheel size chosen at manufacture.
- LX: 195/65R15
- EX: 195/60R16
- EX-L: 195/60R16
These sizes are aligned with keeping the overall diameter close to stock to minimize speedometer error and maintain intended handling characteristics. Always confirm the exact spec on the door jamb placard or owner's manual.
Replacement tires: how to choose
Before selecting replacement tires, consider these guidelines to ensure safety and performance are preserved while maintaining compatibility with your car’s systems.
- Maintain an overall tire diameter within roughly ±3% of the stock size to avoid speedometer and ABS issues.
- Match or exceed the original load index and speed rating appropriate for your vehicle.
- Ensure the tire width is compatible with the wheel width and does not rub on suspension components or fenders.
- Verify that the chosen tires work with any active safety systems (e.g., traction control, stability control) as intended by Honda.
For the most accurate guidance, consult your tire dealer and reference the door placard on the driver’s side jamb for your exact specification.
