Size by year and trim

Tire size by model year

Which brand should you pick?

Honda does not stamp its own approval code on tires the way Porsche or BMW do. Any tire in the right size that meets or exceeds the load index and speed rating on your door placard is a legitimate replacement, so pick on wet braking, tread life and price. Our picks for each size are on the size pages below.

The drawing carries the sizes we list for this car, so you know what you are looking for. The placard on the car is still the final word, and it is the only place that gives the cold pressures: the number molded into the sidewall is the maximum the tire can hold, not what your car wants.

About the Honda Accord

The Accord is Honda's mid-size family sedan and one of the two cars that defined the segment in the United States alongside the Toyota Camry. It has been built in Ohio since 1982 and has spent most of the last forty years in the top handful of US passenger-car sellers. Tire shoppers land here across a wide spread, because a base LX runs a tall 17-inch tire while Sport and Touring trims sit on low-profile 19s.

Launched in 1976. Launched in 1976 as a three-door hatchback, the Accord was Honda's move up from the Civic, and it arrived in the United States with front-wheel drive, a five-speed manual and a level of standard equipment that was unusual for a small import.

How to tell the model years apart

Wheel and tire sizes follow the generation, not the badge, so identifying yours matters before you order.

What the press said

The Accord has spent decades at or near the top of comparison tests in its class, and Car and Driver has put it on its 10Best list more often than any other car. Reviewers reliably praise the ride and handling balance, the rear-seat space and the visibility, and the 2018 car's 2.0-liter turbo and ten-speed automatic were called out as genuinely enjoyable in a segment that rarely gets that. The recurring criticisms are the absence of all-wheel drive, a base 1.5-liter turbo with a continuously variable transmission that drones under load, and touchscreen software that lagged behind rivals before the 2023 redesign. Long-term reliability coverage has been consistently positive.

A compelling combination of virtues makes the Accord a sublime sedan and our number one pick in the family sedan segment.

Car and Driver, 2026

Was it a success?

A long-running commercial success that is now selling at less than half its peak volume, mostly because American buyers moved to crossovers rather than because of anything wrong with the car. Resale is among the best in the class, close to the Camry. Reliability reputation is strong: the naturally aspirated four-cylinders are close to bulletproof, and the main blemishes are early V6 automatic transmissions in 2003-2007 cars and oil-dilution complaints on some 1.5-liter turbos in cold climates. Tires are cheap and widely stocked in the 17-inch sizes and noticeably less so in 235/40R19.

Tire options on the Honda Accord

Base LX and EX trims have run 17-inch tires since 2008, most recently 225/50R17, which is the cheap and comfortable choice and by far the easiest size to find winter tires in. Sport, EX-L and Touring trims sit on 235/40R19, a low-profile size that rides noticeably firmer, costs roughly half again as much and is much more vulnerable to pothole damage. Nothing on an Accord is staggered and none of them use run-flats, so a compact spare and a standard four-wheel set is the norm. OE fitments have mostly been Michelin Primacy, Goodyear Eagle Touring or Hankook Kinergy depending on trim and year. A common owner move is to buy a second set of 17-inch wheels for a 19-inch car and run winters on those, which works because Honda keeps the same bolt pattern across trims within a generation.
