The 2019 Honda HR-V in the United States uses two main stock tire sizes based on trim: 205/60R16 for the LX and 215/55R17 for the EX and EX-L. All of these are sold as all-season tires from the factory.
This article explains the official factory tire sizes by trim, notes regional variations, and offers guidance on replacement considerations, including when winter tires or different sizes might be used. It is designed to help buyers, owners, and prospective buyers understand what came from the factory and what to watch for when replacing tires.
Stock tire sizes by trim
Below is a concise breakdown of the factory-installed tire sizes for the U.S.-market 2019 HR-V, correlated with wheel size and trim level.
- LX — 205/60R16 all-season tires on 16x6.5-inch wheels (steel with covers).
- EX — 215/55R17 all-season tires on 17x7-inch wheels (aluminum).
- EX-L — 215/55R17 all-season tires on 17x7-inch wheels (aluminum).
Note: Tire size can vary by region or production year, and some packages or markets may feature slight differences. Always verify the exact specification on the vehicle’s door jamb placard or owner's manual for the precise factory tire size.
What to know when replacing or upgrading
When replacing tires, it is important to match the factory size to preserve the HR-V’s intended performance, speedometer accuracy, and safety features. If you opt for a different size, consult a tire professional to check clearance, gearing, and ABS/traction-control compatibility. The HR-V originally ships with all-season tires, but climate- or performance-based choices (such as winter tires or performance tires) may be appropriate depending on your location and driving needs.
Winter tires and seasonal considerations
For regions with cold winters, many owners choose a dedicated winter tire setup. You can use winter tires on the same size as stock, or you may maintain a separate wheel-and-tair package. Keeping the stock size ensures compatibility with the vehicle’s traction control and stability features, while a dedicated winter setup can improve cold-weather traction.
Summary
For the 2019 Honda HR-V sold in the U.S., the factory tire sizes are 205/60R16 for the LX and 215/55R17 for the EX and EX-L, with all-season tires as standard. Always confirm the exact specification on your vehicle's placard, and consider regional variations or updates by production year when replacing tires. Ending with the right size helps maintain performance, safety, and fuel efficiency.
