What are the tire specifications for the 10th-generation Civic?
1 Answers
The 10th-generation Civic comes with two tire specifications: 215/50R17 and 215/55R16. In 215/50R17, the first number 215 indicates the tire width is 215mm, 50 represents the aspect ratio of 50% (meaning the sidewall height is 50% of the tire width), and 17 denotes the rim diameter in inches. The letter "R" stands for radial tire. Similarly, in 215/55R16, 215 indicates the tire width is 215mm, 55 represents the aspect ratio of 55%, and 16 denotes the rim diameter in inches. The letter "R" stands for radial tire. The tire brand for the 10th-generation Civic is YOKOHAMA, and the spare tire is non-full size. If you want to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack. Position the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring it contacts the metal part of the frame. Raise the jack until it supports the car. Ensure the jack is positioned correctly under the vehicle and forms a right angle with the ground. Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully remove the nuts yet—just enough to reduce resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground during initial loosening ensures the nuts turn, not the tire. Continue turning the nuts counterclockwise until they come off. Repeat this for all lug nuts and remove them completely. Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. Besides the specifications, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed the tire can sustain under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Indicates the compatible rim size for practical use, such as "Standard Rim 5.00F."
