The Honda Pilot is a well-rounded three-row SUV balancing family comfort and genuine capability. The TrailSport trim adds off-road-tuned suspension and a factory A/T tire fitment — an indication from Honda that this trim is built for more than pavement.

4th gen Pilot (2023-current): 235/60R18 (Sport, EX-L, Touring), 245/50R20 (Elite), 245/55R18 (TrailSport).

Best tires — standard Pilot trims
Michelin CrossClimate2: the best all-around tire for Pilot owners who want excellent wet weather capability and all-weather performance. Available in 235/60R18 and 235/65R17.
Continental CrossContact LX25: excellent wet grip and fuel economy — well-suited to the Pilot's family-focused character.
Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack: the quietest option — for Pilot owners who prioritize cabin noise reduction on long family trips.
Best tires — Pilot TrailSport
The TrailSport comes with Falken Wildpeak AT Trail tires from Honda — an A/T tire specifically designed for the TrailSport platform.
Falken Wildpeak AT3W: the natural aftermarket upgrade — better snow capability (3PMSF) and slightly more aggressive tread than the OEM AT Trail.
Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015: a quieter A/T alternative for TrailSport owners who primarily drive highway miles — strong wet performance with moderate off-road capability.
Frequently asked
How much do Honda Pilot tires cost?
Common sizes (235/60R18, 235/65R17) run $120–170 per tire for quality all-seasons. The 20-inch Elite size (245/50R20) runs $140–190 per tire. A set of four installed: $480–680.
Can I use all-terrain tires on a standard (non-TrailSport) Pilot?
Yes — A/T tires are available in standard Pilot sizes. The trade-off is more highway noise and slightly reduced fuel economy. The standard Pilot's AWD system handles A/T tires normally.
