How to verify the correct tire size for your CR‑V
Use these checks to confirm the size on your vehicle today.
Where to look
Check the driver's door jamb placard for the recommended tire size, inflation pressures, and load limits. The size printed there matches your vehicle's intended configuration.
Cross-check on the tire sidewall
Look at the sidewall of an installed tire for the size code, such as P205/65R16 or P235/60R17. This is the exact tire you currently have and will help when shopping for replacements.
If the placard is missing or unreadable, consult the owner's manual or contact a Honda dealer for the precise spec for your VIN.
Replacement considerations and compatibility
When replacing tires, you should match the size, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter to maintain handling characteristics, speedometer accuracy, and vehicle stability features. For models with all-wheel drive, avoid mixing sizes front and back and keep all tires the same brand and tread pattern if possible.
Common replacement options that fit without rubbing under typical conditions include the two factory sizes noted above. If you are considering alternatives, verify clearance and consult a tire professional to ensure proper fitment.
- 205/65R16
- 235/60R17
Always check clearance with your wheel wells after installing new tires and consider professional alignment if needed.
