What brand are the original tires on the Civic?

2016 and later Honda Civic models come with Yokohama tires as original equipment. Here are the relevant details: 1. Tire specifications: The tread pattern is V551V, with sizes 215/55R16-93H and 215/50R17-91V. 2. Functions of tires: Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, serving several key purposes: supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the car's load, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions; transferring traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's power performance, braking efficiency, and off-road capability.
I previously drove a 10th-generation Civic equipped with Yokohama's ADVAN dB series tires as standard factory equipment. This brand strikes a good balance between quietness and wear resistance, making it quite suitable for daily commuting. However, after two years, I noticed that the tire noise at high speeds became quite noticeable. Later, I switched to Michelin tires, and the difference in quietness was significant. Actually, the tires equipped on Civics vary by model year and trim level—lower trims might come with Goodyear, while higher trims have used Bridgestone. If you're buying a used Civic, pay attention to the tire production date; tires older than six years should be replaced even if the tread is still deep. When changing tires, don't just focus on the brand; the key is matching the size, such as parameters like 215/55 R16, which must align correctly.
