What brand of tires does the Honda Civic use?
2 Answers
Honda Civic's original tires are Yokohama tires. The tread pattern is V551V, with specifications of 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 car; 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 car's power, braking, and off-road performance; 4. Together with the car's suspension, they mitigate the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations; 5. They prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car 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 almost three years, and it came with Bridgestone Turanza T005A tires in the size 215/50 R17. After driving over 20,000 kilometers, I found the grip and noise levels to be decent, but I had to be careful when cornering in the rain. When I later changed tires, I realized that Civics don't come with a fixed tire brand—new cars at the same dealership were equipped with Dunlop ENASAVE EC300+ or Yokohama ADVAN dB tires. The hybrid version, however, does come with Michelin Primacy tires, which are noticeably quieter. If you're buying a used Civic, pay extra attention, as the previous owner might have switched to a different brand. I recommend checking the brand markings on the tire sidewalls for the most reliable information, since even the same model can have different suppliers across different production batches.
