The 2007 Honda Trucks range captured Honda’s broad approach to utility vehicles, from the compact and car-based CR-V to the versatile Element, family-sized Pilot, and unibody Ridgeline pickup. Each model served a different role, so tire sizing across the lineup was not one-size-fits-all. These four models use five distinct radial sizes, and every size is tied to a specific model rather than shared across the full year and make. That means the first step with 2007 Honda Trucks is confirming exactly which model you have, and for the Element, confirming which wheel package it carries before narrowing down the right tire.
Which Tire Size Is Right for Your 2007 Honda Trucks
Five tire sizes are used across 2007 Honda Trucks, and they vary by model rather than carrying across the whole lineup. The main decision is not bias-ply versus radial construction, since every size here is a radial, but confirming the correct model and rim diameter first because these fitments span 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch wheels. Understanding that distinction before choosing a product saves time and helps match the tire to the right vehicle.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): CR-V|Construction: Radial|Rim: 17 in
225/65R17 is a radial metric size with a 225-millimeter section width, a 65-series aspect ratio, and a 17-inch rim diameter. For the CR-V, this size is available from BFGoodrich in an RBL sidewall style with an S speed rating, or 112 mph, and load capacity up to 2,150 pounds at 65 psi. It suits owners who want a utility-focused radial in the correct size for the 2007 Honda Trucks CR-V.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Element|Construction: Radial|Rim: 16 in
215/70R16 is a radial metric size with a 215-millimeter section width, a 70-series aspect ratio, and a 16-inch rim diameter. This size is specific to certain 2007 Honda Trucks Element applications rather than the full model range, and it is available from BFGoodrich, Coker Classic, and American Classic in RWL and wide whitewall styles; speed rating and sidewall treatment vary by product, with the BFGoodrich carrying an R rating, or 106 mph. It is the right fit for Element owners using the 16-inch wheel setup, whether the goal is a more truck-oriented tread look or a custom whitewall presentation.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Element|Construction: Radial|Rim: 18-in rim
225/55R18 is a radial metric size with a 225-millimeter section width, a 55-series aspect ratio, and an 18-inch rim diameter. This size is specific to certain 2007 Honda Trucks Element applications and does not cross over to the other models covered here. It is the size to confirm first for Element owners running the 18-inch wheel package before moving on to product selection.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Pilot|Construction: Radial|Rim: 16 in
235/70R16 is a radial metric size with a 235-millimeter section width, a 70-series aspect ratio, and a 16-inch rim diameter. For the Pilot, it is available from BFGoodrich, American Classic, and Coker Classic in RWL and wide whitewall styles; speed rating also varies by product, with the BFGoodrich carrying an S rating, or 112 mph. It gives 2007 Honda Trucks Pilot owners a choice between a more traditional SUV look and a whitewall style that leans toward custom or specialty presentation.
Year(s): 2007|Fit(s): Ridgeline|Construction: Radial|Rim: 17 in
245/65R17 is a radial metric size with a 245-millimeter section width, a 65-series aspect ratio, and a 17-inch rim diameter. For the Ridgeline, this size is available from BFGoodrich with an RWL sidewall and an S speed rating, or 112 mph, with load capacity up to 2,405 pounds at 65 psi. It fits owners who want the correct 17-inch Ridgeline size with a light-truck-oriented radial character.
Four models are covered in the 2007 Honda Trucks range. Tire size varies by model, and in the Element’s case it can also vary within the model depending on wheel package, so year and make alone are not enough to choose correctly. Select a model below to narrow the fitment history and see the tires that match that application.
2007 Honda Trucks CR-V
The 2007 CR-V marked Honda’s move into a more refined and mainstream compact crossover shape, aimed at everyday utility with car-like road manners. Its tires mount on 17-inch wheels in this application, making it distinct from the 16-inch Pilot and the split-wheel-package Element.
The 2007 Element remained one of Honda’s most distinctive utility models, known for its boxy profile, flexible interior, and strong appeal to buyers who wanted cargo versatility over convention. Element fitments here span both 16-inch and 18-inch wheels, so wheel package matters before choosing a tire.
The 2007 Pilot was Honda’s midsize family SUV, built around space, comfort, and all-around usability rather than a heavy-duty truck image. Its tire fitment mounts on 16-inch wheels, and the available products range from SUV-style raised white letter options to wide whitewall radials for a more specialized appearance.
The 2007 Ridgeline stood apart from traditional midsize pickups with Honda’s unibody construction and a design centered on ride quality and everyday practicality. Its fitment uses 17-inch wheels, matching the truck’s more substantial tire sizing within the 2007 Honda Trucks lineup.
Eight products are available across five tire sizes for 2007 Honda Trucks vehicles. 225/65R17 has one BFGoodrich radial with an RBL sidewall; 215/70R16 has three radials from BFGoodrich, Coker Classic, and American Classic in RWL and wide whitewall styles; 235/70R16 has three radials from the same brands in RWL and wide whitewall styles; 245/65R17 has one BFGoodrich radial with an RWL sidewall.
These FAQs cover how tire sizing splits across the 2007 Honda Trucks lineup, what the metric size codes mean, how wheel package affects the Element, and what to check when choosing between SUV, truck-style, and whitewall radial options.
Size Basics & Fitment
What tire sizes fit 2007 Honda Trucks vehicles?
2007 Honda Trucks vehicles use five sizes across four models: 225/65R17 for the CR-V, 215/70R16 and 225/55R18 for the Element, 235/70R16 for the Pilot, and 245/65R17 for the Ridgeline. These are all radial sizes, but they do not interchange across the full lineup because the vehicles use different rim diameters and different overall fitment packages. Rim width guidance also varies by size where available, including 5.5 to 7.0 inches and 5.50 to 7.50 inches for 215/70R16, 6.0 to 7.5 inches and 6.00 to 8.50 inches for 235/70R16, 6.0 to 8.0 inches for 225/65R17, and 7.0 to 8.0 inches for 245/65R17.
The practical takeaway is that 2007 Honda Trucks buyers should identify the exact model first, then confirm wheel diameter before comparing products. The Element needs extra attention because it appears with both 16-inch and 18-inch fitments, while the CR-V, Pilot, and Ridgeline each stay with one size in this set.
What does 225/65R17 mean on a 2007 Honda Trucks tire?
On a 2007 Honda Trucks tire, 225/65R17 is a modern metric radial code. The 225 is the section width in millimeters, 65 is the aspect ratio, the R confirms radial construction, and 17 is the wheel diameter in inches. In this year and make range, that size belongs to the CR-V and mounts on a 17-inch wheel.
Understanding the code helps separate fitment from tread style or brand choice. Once the CR-V owner confirms 225/65R17, the next step is comparing details such as sidewall appearance, load capacity, and intended use rather than trying to adapt a nearby 16-inch or 18-inch size from another 2007 Honda Trucks model.
Do all 2007 Honda Trucks models use the same tire size?
No, 2007 Honda Trucks models do not all use the same tire size. The CR-V uses 225/65R17, the Pilot uses 235/70R16, the Ridgeline uses 245/65R17, and the Element appears with either 215/70R16 or 225/55R18 depending on wheel package. Every size here is model-specific rather than shared across the entire year and make.
That matters because choosing by year and make alone can still leave two or more possible answers, especially for the Element. If the vehicle has already changed hands or wears aftermarket wheels, checking the actual wheel diameter and the existing sidewall marking is the fastest way to confirm which 2007 Honda Trucks fitment path to follow.
Buying the Right Tire
What sidewall styles are available for 2007 Honda Trucks tires?
2007 Honda Trucks tires appear with several sidewall treatments depending on size. The CR-V’s 225/65R17 is available with an RBL sidewall, the Ridgeline’s 245/65R17 uses RWL, and the Element’s 215/70R16 plus the Pilot’s 235/70R16 are available in both RWL and wide whitewall versions. That creates a wider style spread than many modern import utility vehicles typically carried when new.
For most original-style restorations or stock-appearance daily use, blackwall or raised white letter choices usually stay closer to the era and market position of these Honda models. The wide whitewall options are more of a custom presentation choice, so they make the most sense when appearance is the priority and the owner wants a deliberately different look.
What brands make tires for 2007 Honda Trucks vehicles?
Three brands cover 2007 Honda Trucks applications here: BFGoodrich, Coker Classic, and American Classic. BFGoodrich appears in 225/65R17 for the CR-V, 215/70R16 for the Element, 235/70R16 for the Pilot, and 245/65R17 for the Ridgeline. Coker Classic and American Classic appear in the 16-inch Element and Pilot sizes with wide whitewall radial options.
That brand split makes the selection process fairly straightforward. Owners looking for a more truck- or SUV-oriented tread and sidewall treatment will usually end up comparing BFGoodrich options, while owners after a custom whitewall appearance in the 16-inch sizes can focus on Coker Classic and American Classic.
What is the difference between American Classic and Coker Classic for 2007 Honda Trucks 235/70R16 tires?
For 2007 Honda Trucks 235/70R16 applications, both American Classic and Coker Classic offer radial wide whitewall tires, but their supporting specs are not identical. American Classic carries a 2.375-inch whitewall, supports rim widths from 6.00 to 8.50 inches, weighs 30 pounds, and carries a maximum load of 1,984 pounds at 35 psi. Coker Classic also uses a 2.375-inch whitewall, weighs 29.1 pounds, and carries a maximum load of 2,271 pounds at 32 psi.
The choice comes down to how closely the wheel width and load needs line up with the intended vehicle setup. A Pilot owner should compare the actual wheel width, the desired whitewall presentation, and the tire’s load-and-pressure relationship rather than assuming two same-size whitewalls behave identically.
Fitting & Setup
What rim width do 2007 Honda Trucks tires require?
Rim width guidance for 2007 Honda Trucks varies by size. The 215/70R16 appears with approved ranges of 5.5 to 7.0 inches and 5.50 to 7.50 inches depending on product, while 235/70R16 spans 6.0 to 7.5 inches or as wide as 6.00 to 8.50 inches. The 225/65R17 uses 6.0 to 8.0 inches, and the 245/65R17 uses 7.0 to 8.0 inches.
Those ranges are a reminder that tire size alone is not the whole story. Before choosing a product for any 2007 Honda Trucks model, measure or confirm the actual wheel width so the tire falls within that product’s approved range rather than assuming every tire in the same nominal size fits the same wheel.
Do 2007 Honda Trucks tires require inner tubes?
The 2007 Honda Trucks products shown here do not indicate tube-type construction, and the size markings reflect modern radial fitments rather than vintage tube-type nomenclature. These applications are centered on contemporary radial tires for 16-inch and 17-inch wheels, which points buyers toward standard modern-style fitment practices rather than specialty tube setups.
Even so, wheel condition still matters. If a 2007 Honda Trucks vehicle has aftermarket wheels, repaired wheels, or wheels that have seen corrosion or impact damage, it is smart to confirm the wheel’s sealing condition and valve stem service at installation rather than focusing only on the tire itself.
Maintenance, Storage & Longevity
How should I store a 2007 Honda Trucks when the tires are fitted?
A 2007 Honda Trucks vehicle should be stored on clean, properly inflated tires in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, electric motors, battery chargers, welders, and other ozone sources. Long periods of static storage can still create flat-spotting and aging stress, even with radial tires, especially on heavier vehicles like the Pilot and Ridgeline.
Moving the vehicle periodically helps, and for longer dormant stretches many collectors use tire cradles or support stands to reduce constant load on one contact patch. Keeping the tires off damp soil or bare concrete and out of strong UV exposure does more for long-term tire condition than simply covering the vehicle.
How long do tires on a 2007 Honda Trucks typically last?
For a 2007 Honda Trucks vehicle, tire age matters more than mileage once the vehicle becomes a low-use collector or hobby vehicle. A good rule is to begin careful age-based evaluation around five to seven years and to treat ten years as a serious replacement consideration regardless of remaining tread. The DOT date code on the sidewall tells you when the tire was built.
That matters because many utility vehicles spend long stretches parked, which can make tread depth look reassuring even when the rubber has hardened or begun to crack. If a 2007 Honda Trucks model sees only occasional use, schedule tire decisions around age, storage history, and visible condition rather than waiting for the tread to wear out.
How often should tires on a 2007 Honda Trucks be inspected?
Tires on a 2007 Honda Trucks vehicle should be inspected before every drive and again before any longer highway outing. Look for sidewall cracking, punctures, bulges, uneven tread wear, embedded debris, and any sign that the tire is losing pressure. On vehicles that sit often, a visual check alone is not enough; pressures should be verified with a gauge.
A simple routine catches most tire problems before they become roadside problems. If the vehicle recently came out of storage, add a closer look at the spare, the valve stems, and the inner shoulder of each tire, since age-related issues often appear there before they are obvious from a standing walkaround.
Safety & Road Use
Are 2007 Honda Trucks tires safe for highway driving?
2007 Honda Trucks tires can be appropriate for highway driving when the tire size matches the vehicle, the tire is in sound condition, and the speed rating is respected. The BFGoodrich 225/65R17 for the CR-V, 235/70R16 for the Pilot, and 245/65R17 for the Ridgeline carry an S rating, or 112 mph, while the BFGoodrich 215/70R16 for the Element carries an R rating, or 106 mph. Those ceilings are well above normal highway speeds.
Real-world safety depends on more than the sidewall code. Alignment, suspension condition, brake performance, age of the tire, and whether the vehicle is carrying passengers or cargo all matter just as much, so a 2007 Honda Trucks vehicle headed on a longer trip should be evaluated as a whole rather than by speed rating alone.
What inflation pressure should I use for 2007 Honda Trucks tires?
Inflation pressure for 2007 Honda Trucks tires should start with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation for the exact model and tire size, then be cross-checked against the tire’s own rated load-and-pressure information. Examples here include 2,150 pounds at 65 psi for 225/65R17, 1,765 pounds at 50 psi plus whitewall alternatives at 32 or 35 psi for 215/70R16, 1,985 pounds at 50 psi and whitewall alternatives at 32 or 35 psi for 235/70R16, and 2,405 pounds at 65 psi for 245/65R17.
Those figures are maximum load-and-pressure pairings, not a blanket instruction to inflate every application to the sidewall maximum. Because 2007 Honda Trucks models differ in weight and intended use, the correct everyday pressure should be chosen by model, size, and tire design rather than borrowed from another size in the lineup.
What should I check before taking a 2007 Honda Trucks on a longer drive?
Before a longer drive in a 2007 Honda Trucks vehicle, inspect all four tires and the spare for cracking, cuts, bulges, irregular wear, and proper inflation. Confirm that the sidewall size matches the vehicle’s wheel package, especially on the Element, where both 16-inch and 18-inch fitments appear. If the tires have been sitting, recheck pressure after the first few miles.
The tires are only one part of a sensible pre-trip routine on a vehicle of any age. It also makes sense to look at brakes, fluid levels, suspension feel, and wheel fastener torque so the trip is not compromised by a problem that feels like a tire issue but actually starts elsewhere in the chassis.
