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.

Every US car built since 2003 carries this placard. It also gives the pressures, which the sidewall does not: the number molded into the tire is the maximum it can hold, not what your car wants.

What those tires cost

Honda Element tires: common questions

What size tires does a Honda Element take?

The most common original size is 215/70R16. Other model years and trims use different sizes, so check the list on this page and confirm against the sticker inside your driver's door.

Can I fit a different size on my Honda Element?

You can, within limits: the overall diameter should stay within about 3 percent of the original, and the load index and speed rating must meet or exceed the door placard. Anything further changes your speedometer reading and can rub at full lock.

Where is the tire size on a Honda Element?

Open the driver's door and look at the white and yellow placard on the door jamb or the B-pillar. The same size is also molded into the sidewall of the tires currently on the car, unless someone changed them.

What size tires does a 2011 Honda Element take?

The 2011 Honda Element came from the factory on 215/70R16. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.

What size tires does a 2010 Honda Element take?

The 2010 Honda Element came from the factory on 215/70R16. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.

What size tires does a 2009 Honda Element take?
