What brand are Civic tires?
2 Answers
The original tires on the Honda Civic are Yokohama tires. The tread pattern is V551V, and the specifications are 215/55R16-93H and 215/50R17-91V. Below are specific details about the functions of tires: 1. Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle; 2. They support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; 3. They transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the vehicle's power, braking, and off-road performance; 4. They work together with the vehicle's suspension to cushion impacts during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations; 5. They prevent severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy.
I've been driving a Civic for several years, and honestly, I haven't stuck to one tire brand—it really depends on the model and trim you buy. For example, my Civic is the sport version, which came with Dunlop tires from the factory. They feel quite grippy, and the car doesn't skid easily when turning in the rain. If you buy the base LX trim, Honda often fits Yokohama tires, which have good wear resistance but are a bit slower to respond. The variation in tires is because Honda selects them based on the car's performance needs and cost—sportier versions need better tires for safety, while standard trims save money. Tires can change between model years or batches—for instance, some 2022 Civics used Bridgestone, while 2023 models switched to Michelin. When buying a new car, I recommend checking the spec sheet for the original tire details rather than just relying on the salesperson. Honda also adjusts tire brands based on regional supply—for example, in Southeast Asia, they might use local brands to cut costs. In short, don't generalize—it depends on your specific model. If you're replacing tires, you can choose any brand, but the factory-fitted ones are often tailored for the car.
