2 Answers
The tire sizes for the Honda Accord 9.5th generation are 225/50R17, 215/60R16, and 235/45R18. In 225/50R17, the first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 50 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, and 17 represents the rim diameter of 17 inches. The middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. In 215/60R16, the first number 215 represents the tire width of 215MM, 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. In 235/45R18, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 45 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 45%, meaning the section height is 45% of the width, and 18 represents the rim diameter of 18 inches. The middle letter "R" stands for radial tire. The Accord 9.5th generation uses Dunlop tires, which have a long service life, and the spare tire size is non-full size. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow the steps below: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle. Check and ensure the jack is perpendicular to the ground; Remove the hub cover, loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully loosen the nuts, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts, not the tire, are turning; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat this step for all lug nuts, then fully remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and tighten them by hand until all nuts are concealed. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, the tire also carries the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as standard rim 5.00F.
Oh, when it comes to the tire specifications for the ninth-and-a-half-generation Accord, it actually depends on the specific trim level. I drive a 2016 EX model, which came with factory-fitted 215/55R17 Michelin tires. They perform exceptionally well in city driving, providing great stability, and don’t feel floaty even at highway speeds. In the tire size, 215 stands for the width, 55 is the aspect ratio, and R17 refers to the 17-inch wheel diameter—all of which affect handling and fuel efficiency. For the Sport trim, you might find 225/50R17 tires, which offer better grip but could be noisier. I recommend checking the owner’s manual or the vehicle’s placard to confirm the exact specifications. Factory tires typically last about 5 years or 60,000 kilometers before needing replacement—don’t wait until they’re bald and unsafe. If your budget allows, upgrading to premium brands like Bridgestone can enhance comfort. My neighbor once switched to slightly firmer tires and felt more confident on winding roads, but remember to stick to the correct size to avoid issues during inspections.
