2024 Honda CR-V Tire Size, Pressure & Wheel Specs

As an ASE-certified master technician, I regularly service the newest generation of crossover SUVs. The 2024 Honda CR-V is one of the most popular vehicles to roll into the shop, whether for a routine rotation or a fresh set of rubber. Keeping your tires properly inflated and choosing the right replacements is vital for fuel economy (especially on the Hybrid trims), ride comfort, and overall safety.

Here is your comprehensive guide to the tire sizes, pressures, and wheel specifications for the 2024 Honda CR-V.

Quick answer: 2024 Honda CR-V Tire & Wheel Specs

• Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 mm (5x4.5")
• Wheel Size: 18x7.5J or 19x7.5J (Offset: +40 to +45mm)

Tire sizes by trim

Depending on whether you opted for a gas-only model or the top-tier Sport Touring Hybrid, your wheel setup will differ.

Always verify your specific tire pressure on the tire information placard located on the inside of the driver’s side door jamb.

Recommended replacement tires

When it is time to replace the factory tires on your CR-V, you have several excellent options across different price points depending on your driving style.

• Premium / Best Overall: Michelin Defender 2 ($$$$) – Unbeatable treadwear, exceptionally quiet ride, and great all-season traction.
• Mid-Range / Great Value: Continental CrossContact LX25 ($$$) – Excellent wet braking performance and comfortable ride quality; a great alternative to the Michelin.
• All-Terrain / Adventurous: Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail ($$$) – Designed specifically for crossovers. It offers an aggressive look and better off-road capability without ruining highway fuel economy.
• Budget-Friendly: Kumho Crugen HP71 ($$) – A solid touring tire that delivers reliable all-season traction at a lower price point.

When to inflate to max load psi

Because the Honda CR-V is a compact passenger SUV and not a Heavy-Duty (HD) truck, the "max load" rules do not apply in the same way. You should never inflate your CR-V tires to the "Max Press" listed on the tire’s sidewall (which is typically 44 to 51 PSI).

Even if you are towing a small trailer up to the CR-V's 1,500 lb maximum towing capacity or loading the cargo area with heavy gear, you should stick to the manufacturer-recommended 32 PSI. Overinflating a passenger SUV tire leads to a harsh ride, premature center tread wear, and a smaller contact patch, which decreases braking performance.

Lug nut torque & pattern

If you are removing the wheels to perform a brake job, rotate the tires, or install a spare, adhering to the correct torque specification is critical.

• Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 mm (5x4.5 inches)
• Lug Nut Thread Size: M12 x 1.5
• Lug Nut Torque: 80 lb-ft (108 Nm)

Always use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts in a star (crisscross) pattern to ensure the wheel is seated evenly against the hub.

Common tire issues for this vehicle

1. Hybrid Spare Tire Confusion: A very common issue we see in the shop is owners of the CR-V Hybrid trims looking for a spare tire. To save weight and make room for the battery pack, the 2024 CR-V Hybrids do not come with a spare tire. They are equipped with a tire mobility kit (inflator and sealant). If you suffer a major blowout, you will need a tow.
2. Inner Tread Wear: Like many modern vehicles with independent rear suspension, the CR-V can develop negative camber in the rear over time if heavily loaded. This can cause the inside edges of the rear tires to wear faster. Regular alignments and tire rotations every 5,000–7,500 miles are crucial.
3. TPMS Reset: When replacing tires or rotating them, the TPMS system may need a brief period of driving to recalibrate and recognize the new pressures.
