Honda XR-V uses Bridgestone brand tires, with tire models being 215/60R16 and 215/55R17 respectively. Taking the 2021 Honda XR-V as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4328mm, width 1772mm, height 1610mm, wheelbase 2610mm, minimum ground clearance 130mm, and curb weight 1225kg. The 2021 Honda XR-V is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering maximum horsepower of 131PS, maximum power of 96kW, maximum torque of 155Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving a Honda XR-V for several years. The factory-fitted tires are usually the Bridgestone Dueler series, quite common on SUVs, offering strong grip and wear resistance. However, depending on the configuration, such as higher trims or newer versions, Michelin or Goodyear tires might be used. When buying a used car, carefully check the brand markings on the tire sidewall to avoid being deceived. Tire maintenance is crucial—I check tire pressure and tread depth every quarter, otherwise, it's easy to get a flat or waste fuel. Choosing tires should consider driving habits; Bridgestone is sufficient for city commuting, but Michelin is quieter and more comfortable, offering advantages for long trips. In terms of price, factory tires aren't cheap, so don't opt for low-quality brands to save money when replacing them—safety comes first. Additionally, Honda officially recommends regular wheel alignment to extend tire life.

With over 20 years of car repair experience, I can say that most Honda XR-Vs come with Bridgestone tires from the factory, such as the 215/60R17 Dueler series, which are quite durable. Lower trim models occasionally switch to Michelin or no-name brands to cut costs, but the quality varies. Tire brands significantly impact driving safety, so always replace worn tires with the same specifications and avoid altering sizes. I recommend owners first check the brand label on the tread; if it's unclear, clean it while washing the car. For maintenance, check tire pressure monthly, especially in cold weather when pressure fluctuations and air leakage risks are higher. When replacing tires, opt for OEM or similar brands—Michelin offers quieter performance than Bridgestone but at a higher cost. Honda XR-V tires typically need replacement every 50,000 km, depending on usage frequency. Don’t forget to clear out stones and debris during maintenance.

My Honda XR-V was purchased last year, equipped with Bridgestone tires, which provide great stability especially in rainy conditions without slipping. It's possible that different model years or color variants come with different tire brands; my friend has the same model with Michelin tires and feels it's quieter. To identify the tire brand, simply check the sidewall information. For daily maintenance, I inspect the tread depth during car washes and plan to replace them if insufficient. When choosing tires, don't overlook the brand influence—Bridgestone suits city roads well, while Michelin performs better on highways. The cost difference isn't significant, and OEM tires are more reliable. For new tire replacements, it's advisable to visit a 4S shop to ensure compatibility. Over time, tire noise may increase; regular rotation can balance wear and extend lifespan.
