For the 2016 HR-V, the stock tire sizes depend on trim: LX uses 205/60R16; EX and EX-L use 215/55R17.
OEM tire sizes by trim
The following list reflects the factory-installed tire sizes associated with the HR-V’s trims for that model year.
- LX: 205/60R16 with 16-inch wheels
- EX and EX-L: 215/55R17 with 17-inch wheels
Using these OEM sizes helps preserve handling, fuel economy, and speedometer accuracy. If you replace tires, aim to match the original overall diameter and maintain proper fit on the wheels.
Notes for tire replacement and fitment
When considering alternatives to stock sizes, keep these guidelines in mind before you shop.
- Maintain the overall tire diameter close to OEM to avoid affecting speedometer readings, ABS, and traction control.
- For models with Real-Time AWD, install matching tires on all four wheels to prevent drivetrain issues.
- Choose a correct load index and speed rating appropriate for the vehicle and driving conditions.
If in doubt, consult your owner's manual or a Honda dealer to confirm fitment for your exact build, especially if you have aftermarket wheels or a non-standard trim.
Summary
Bottom line: 2016 HR-V LX uses 205/60R16; EX and EX-L use 215/55R17. For replacements, stick to OEM sizes to maintain optimal performance, or seek professional guidance when considering alternative sizes, particularly on AWD models.
