Trim-specific configurations
Here are the sizes most commonly found on U.S.-market 2015 CR-V trims, noting that regional or dealer configurations may vary. When in doubt, always confirm with the placard on the driver’s door or the owner's manual.
- P225/65R17 — fitted to 17-inch wheels on LX and EX trims.
- P235/60R18 — fitted to 18-inch wheels on EX-L (with or without navigation) and Touring trims, depending on market.
In practice, the 17-inch configuration is the default for base and mid-range models, while the 18-inch option appears on higher trims in many regions. Always verify the precise size on your specific vehicle before purchasing tires.
How to verify your tire size
Reading the tire code
To confirm the right tire size for your exact CR-V, use these steps:
- Check the driver-side door jamb placard for the "Tire Size" specification.
- Inspect the sidewall of your current tires for the size code (for example, P225/65R17).
- Consult the owner's manual or Honda's official site with your VIN for OE specifications.
- When replacing tires, aim to match OE size or stay within a small diameter variance (usually within 2-3%) to preserve speedometer accuracy and handling.
Verifying the size helps ensure proper speedometer readings, braking behavior, and compatibility with suspension and ABS systems.
Additional considerations
Beyond the nominal size, consider tire type, season, and performance needs. All-season tires are common for the 2015 CR-V, but winter-rated tires are recommended in snow-prone regions. Always check load index and speed rating to meet or exceed OE requirements and follow Honda's guidance on tire rotation and maintenance.
Summary: The 2015 Honda CR-V generally uses P225/65R17 tires on 17-inch wheels for base trims, with P235/60R18 on 18-inch wheels for higher trims. Verify the exact size on the door placard and replace with OE-equivalent tires to maintain safety and performance.
