In short, the 2014 CR-V uses two OEM tire sizes based on wheel size: P215/70R16 for LX models with 16-inch wheels, and P235/65R17 for EX and EX-L models with 17-inch wheels. Always verify with the door jamb placard or the owner's manual for your specific vehicle.
OEM tire sizes by trim
The 2014 CR-V's wheel size depends on trim. The following are the typical OEM tire sizes you’ll see on US-market models.
- LX: P215/70R16
- EX and EX-L: P235/65R17
Note: Some regional versions or special editions may have alternative wheel packages. Always verify with the door jamb placard or the owner's manual for your exact vehicle.
Notes on upgrading or compatibility
If you plan to change wheel sizes or fit aftermarket tires, maintain overall diameter within a small percentage of the original to preserve speedometer accuracy and avoid gearing issues.
Winter tires and seasonal considerations
Winter tires can be mounted on the same wheel sizes as the OEM equipment. If you stick with 16-inch wheels on a base model, you would use P215/70R16 winter tires; if your CR-V has 17-inch wheels, use P235/65R17 winter tires. Always use a proper snow-rated tire and consider separate steel wheels for winter to avoid damaging alloy wheels.
How to confirm the correct size for your vehicle
Your best source is the door jamb placard on the driver's side or the owner's manual. The placard lists the exact tire size and recommended inflation for your particular VIN. If you have a dealership-installed wheel upgrade, confirm the correct size with the dealer.
Summary
For the 2014 Honda CR-V, the typical OEM tire sizes are P215/70R16 for LX models and P235/65R17 for EX/EX-L models. Always double-check the factory placard and manual for your exact configuration, especially if wheels have been upgraded or if you live in a region with unique specifications.
