Best Tires for Honda Ridgeline

The Honda Ridgeline is the most car-like truck sold in North America — a unibody AWD platform with a smooth ride and practical truck bed. Its tire needs lean toward highway refinement and wet performance over aggressive off-road capability.

Common Honda Ridgeline tire sizes

2nd gen Ridgeline (2017-current): 245/60R18 (Sport, RTL), 265/65R17 (Black Edition, Sport RTL-E).

The 245/60R18 is the most common size for standard trims.

Best tires

Michelin CrossClimate2 in 245/60R18: the top recommendation for Ridgeline owners. The Ridgeline is primarily a highway truck — the CrossClimate2 wet braking and tread life match that use case, while the 3PMSF rating adds winter confidence.

Continental TerrainContact H/T in 245/60R18: the refined highway choice for Ridgeline owners who stay on pavement — quieter than an A/T, better wet performance than a basic highway tire.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S in 245/60R18: for maximum tread life — ideal for Ridgeline owners who commute long distances.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 245/60R18: for Black Edition and Sport owners who want trail capability — unusually quiet for an A/T and well-suited to the Ridgeline's car-like character.

Frequently asked

How much do Honda Ridgeline tires cost?

245/60R18: $120–170 per tire. A set of four installed: $480–680.

Does the Honda Ridgeline need all-terrain tires?

Only for owners who regularly leave the pavement. The Ridgeline's standard ride height and unibody construction are not optimized for aggressive off-road use. For light trail use, the Falken Wildpeak AT3W is the right choice. For pavement-primary driving, the Michelin CrossClimate2 or Defender LTX M/S are better matches.
