Tire Size Meanings Explained

Looking at the tire size designations like “P215/55VR17”, it can be confusing to understand what all the numbers and letters mean. Here is a breakdown of how to interpret Honda Accord tire sizes:

1. P: The “P” stands for “passenger car”. This indicates the tire is designed for passenger vehicles, not trucks or trailers.
2. 215: This three-digit number is the tire’s width in millimeters. So 215mm.
3. 55: The two-digit number following the slash represents the aspect ratio or sidewall height as a percentage of the width. So 55% of 215mm.
4. V: The “V” stands for speed rating and indicates the maximum speed capability of the tire.
5. R: The “R” means radial construction, the standard for modern passenger tires.
6. 17: The last two-digit number is the wheel diameter in inches that the tire is designed to fit.

So putting it all together, a P215/55VR17 tire is a 215mm wide radial passenger car tire with a 55% sidewall height capable of 149+ mph speeds and intended to fit on a 17-inch wheel.

Understanding how to read tire sizes is very helpful when purchasing replacement tires for your 2017 Honda Accord.

Recommended Tire Pressures

Along with using the proper size tires, maintaining the manufacturer recommended tire pressure maximizes safety and ensures optimal handling and fuel economy. Here are the recommended cold tire inflation pressures from Honda for the 2017 Accord:

Use a quality gauge to check your pressures monthly and inflate them when needed. Proper inflation promotes tire longevity and keeps your Accord performing at its best.

Replacing Your Tires

When it comes time to replace your worn out 2017 Honda Accord tires, be sure to get the same tire size, load index, speed rating, and construction type (radial) as the originals. Your owner’s manual or the tire placard in the door jamb will list the correct tire size and inflation pressures if you cannot determine them visually.

Installing the wrong size tires can negatively affect the anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability assist, and speedometer/odometer accuracy on your Accord. Stick with the OEM tire specifications for optimal safety, ride quality, and performance. Consider a top-rated brand like Michelin or Bridgestone for a great balance of comfort, longevity, and traction.
