What tires does the Honda XR-V use?
2 Answers
Honda XR-V is equipped with Turanza ER370 tires, with specifications of 215/55R17. The 215 indicates the tire width, the 55 represents the aspect ratio, the R stands for radial tire, and the 17 means the tire can be mounted on 17-inch wheel rims. Taking the 2021 Honda XR-V as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4320mm, width 1772mm, and height 1610mm. The 2021 Honda XR-V is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 131PS, maximum power of 96kW, maximum torque of 155Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Honda XR-V for almost three years. The original tires were Dunlop GRANDTREK series, size 205/55 R16, which are suitable for daily city driving and quite fuel-efficient. Initially, I thought the grip was decent, but after driving over 20,000 kilometers, the tread wear became noticeable. I then switched to Bridgestone tires, which feel more durable, especially providing better safety on wet roads. I recommend car owners to regularly check tire pressure, for example, once a month, keeping it between 2.3-2.5 bar, which can extend tire life and save on fuel costs. Additionally, if you frequently drive on highways or in mountainous areas, choosing all-season tires would be more practical. Don't forget to rotate the tires regularly to ensure even wear.
