Recently studied the tire configurations of the new Honda CR-V. The 2023 model currently on sale mainly offers two tire specifications: the base version uses 235/65 R17 tires, while the higher trim or 4WD versions come with 235/60 R18 tires. The number 235 represents the tread width (in millimeters), 65 and 60 are the aspect ratios, R stands for radial tires, and 17/18 indicates the wheel diameter (in inches). Choosing the base version means thicker tires for better bump absorption, while the higher trim's thinner tires offer more precise handling. Additionally, you can confirm your car's tire data by checking the markings on the tire sidewall, such as the format '235/60R18'. Remember to inflate the tires according to the standard indicated on the door frame sticker. When replacing tires, it's best to stick to the original specifications to avoid affecting the speedometer accuracy and annual inspections.

I've been driving the new CR-V hybrid for half a year, which comes with factory-fitted 235/60 R18 Michelin tires. This size is 10mm wider than the previous model, significantly improving grip during high-speed cornering. My friend's base fuel version has 235/65 R17 tires, with 5% thicker sidewalls for better durability on bumpy roads. Special reminder for southern owners: during rainy seasons, it's advisable to switch to tires with better wet performance, as the factory tires have a slightly higher chance of slipping in heavy rain. During maintenance, I noticed this generation's wheels are 1.2kg lighter than the previous one, which helps slightly with fuel efficiency. If you're changing to winter tires, remember to choose the same speed rating H or higher.

The new CR-V comes with two tire sizes: the front-wheel-drive version is mostly equipped with 235/65 R17, while the all-wheel-drive high-end model upgrades to 235/60 R18. The numbers 60/65 represent the tire's aspect ratio, with a higher value indicating better cushioning. The recommended tire pressure when cold should be maintained between 2.3-2.5 bar, and tires should be replaced immediately if the tread depth falls below 3mm. Original tires are commonly from brands like Yokohama or Dunlop—don’t opt for cheap off-brands when replacing tires yourself, as they directly affect braking distance. By the way, the spare tire is a non-full-size T145/90 D16, with a maximum speed limit of 80 km/h.

Recently helped my cousin choose a car and noticed the CR-V's tire configurations. The new gasoline version comes standard with 235/65 R17 tires across all trims, while the hybrid top variant uses 235/60 R18. These sizes strike a balance between comfort and support, offering better fuel efficiency than the Highlander's 245 tires while providing more stability than the RAV4's 225 tires. In real-world driving, I found the 60 aspect ratio tires produce slightly more noise over speed bumps compared to the 65 series. If considering all-terrain tire upgrades, BFGoodrich offers AT options in the same sizes. Remember to rotate tires every 10,000 km during maintenance - front tires wear significantly faster. Check the four-digit DOT code on the tire sidewall for manufacturing date, e.g. '3723' indicates the 37th week of 2023.
