The Honda CR-V is one of the best-selling crossovers in America — practical, fuel-efficient, and driven by owners who want a tire that handles daily commuting, occasional Georgia rain, and maybe a gravel road without drama. Here are the best options.
Common Honda CR-V tire sizes
5th gen CR-V (2017-2022): 225/65R17 (LX, EX), 235/60R18 (EX-L, Sport). The hybrid uses the same sizes.
6th gen CR-V (2023-current): 235/60R18 on most trims.
4th gen CR-V (2012-2016): 225/65R17 on most trims.
Most CR-V owners replace tires in the OEM size. Upsizing is possible but unusual for this vehicle.
Best all-season tires
Michelin CrossClimate2: the top recommendation for CR-V owners who want the best overall tire. Exceptional wet weather grip, 3PMSF winter rating for light snow capability, long tread life, and comfortable ride. Available in all CR-V sizes.
Continental CrossContact LX25: excellent wet performance, quiet and comfortable ride, strong fuel efficiency. A strong alternative to the CrossClimate2 at a similar price point.
Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack: the quietest option in this category — ideal for CR-V owners who prioritize cabin noise over all-weather grip. Strong dry and wet performance.
Michelin Defender2: if maximum tread life is the priority, the Defender2 outlasts almost every other tire in this category while maintaining strong wet traction.
Best all-weather tires
If you want a tire that handles Georgia's occasional winter weather better than a standard all-season without dedicating to a full winter tire set: the Michelin CrossClimate2 is the CR-V's best option. Its 3PMSF rating means it is tested for real winter traction, not just self-designated.
The Nokian Seasonproof is another strong all-weather option — particularly for CR-V owners who occasionally drive into the North Georgia mountains during winter months.
What to avoid
Budget tires in CR-V sizes often have significantly worse wet braking than the top options — in a vehicle used for family transportation, this is not the place to cut corners.
Truck A/T tires: occasionally CR-V owners want more off-road capability. Most A/T tires are not available in CR-V sizes and do not fit the crossover's character. The CrossClimate2 handles light gravel and packed dirt adequately.
Frequently asked
How long do Honda CR-V tires last?
OEM tires on a CR-V typically last 40,000–50,000 miles. Quality aftermarket all-season tires last 50,000–70,000 miles. The Michelin CrossClimate2 and Defender2 regularly reach 60,000–70,000 miles under normal use.
How much do Honda CR-V tires cost?
A quality all-season in a common CR-V size (225/65R17 or 235/60R18) runs $120–180 per tire, mounted and balanced. A set of four runs $480–720. Premium brands (Michelin, Continental) are at the higher end; Bridgestone and Cooper in the middle.
Do I need to replace all four CR-V tires at once?
The 2017-2022 CR-V with AWD requires all four tires to be within a small tread-depth difference — Honda recommends replacing all four when any tire needs replacement, or using a tire shaving service to match tread depth. Check your owner's manual. FWD CR-V owners can replace in pairs.
What tires come on the Honda CR-V from the factory?
Honda typically equips the CR-V with Continental ProContact or Bridgestone Ecopia tires from the factory. Both are solid OEM choices. The Michelin CrossClimate2 and Continental CrossContact LX25 are the most popular upgrades when it is time to replace.
