2014 Honda Trucks Tire Fitment Guide

2014 Honda Trucks vehicles use six sizes across three model lines. The CR-V uses 225/65R17 or 215/70R16, the Pilot uses 235/60R18 or 235/65R17, and the Ridgeline uses 245/65R17 or 245/60R18. All six are radial sizes, but they do not interchange across the full 2014 Honda Trucks range because each model has its own width, profile, and wheel-diameter combinations.

The practical takeaway is that year and make alone are not enough for this lineup. Confirm the model first, then verify whether the vehicle has 16-, 17-, or 18-inch wheels before narrowing down tire options. Where rim-width guidance exists, 215/70R16 products span 5.5 to 7.5 inches, 225/65R17 spans 6.0 to 8.0 inches, and 245/65R17 spans 7.0 to 8.0 inches, which can help when checking an existing wheel.

On a 2014 Honda Trucks tire, 215/70R16 is a metric radial size. The 215 is the section width in millimeters, 70 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 70 percent of the section width, R identifies radial construction, and 16 is the wheel diameter in inches. On the 2014 Honda Trucks range, that size belongs to the CR-V rather than the Pilot or Ridgeline.

That code matters because it defines both the physical fit and the overall stance of the tire on the wheel. Within 215/70R16, sidewall appearance can change substantially, since this size appears in both utility-oriented blackwall or outlined-letter form and wide whitewall form. If your CR-V uses 16-inch wheels, staying with 215/70R16 preserves the intended wheel diameter while letting you choose the visual style that suits your vehicle.

No, 2014 Honda Trucks models do not use the same tire size. The CR-V, Pilot, and Ridgeline each have their own pair of radial sizes, and no single size is shared across all three model lines. The differences are not minor either, because the lineup spans 16-, 17-, and 18-inch wheel diameters as well as different section widths and aspect ratios.

That means a buyer should avoid choosing by make alone. A 17-inch Pilot tire is not the same as a 17-inch CR-V or Ridgeline tire, even though the rim diameter matches, because the width and profile are different. If you are replacing one tire or a full set, match the sidewall code on the vehicle now or confirm the original wheel package for your exact 2014 Honda Trucks model.

2014 Honda Trucks tires appear in several sidewall styles depending on size. The 225/65R17 comes in RBL form, the 245/65R17 comes in RWL form, and the 215/70R16 is the most visually varied size, with RWL and wide whitewall options. Those choices change the look of the vehicle more than the basic fitment, since the size and wheel diameter still need to stay correct for the model.

For a modern Honda truck or crossover, blackwall or outlined-letter styling generally looks closest to mainstream original-market expectations, while a wide whitewall creates a distinctly custom or nostalgic appearance. That is especially relevant for a CR-V using 215/70R16, where the whitewall options can shift the vehicle’s visual character dramatically. Choose sidewall style after you confirm the right size, not before.

BFGoodrich, Coker Classic, and American Classic all have fitments within the 2014 Honda Trucks range. BFGoodrich appears in 225/65R17, 215/70R16, and 245/65R17, while Coker Classic and American Classic appear in 215/70R16. That means brand choice is broadest for the 16-inch CR-V fitment and narrower for the 17-inch CR-V and Ridgeline sizes that currently have a single branded option here.

Brand matters because it usually tracks with both appearance and intended use. BFGoodrich options in these sizes lean toward a more truck-oriented look, while Coker Classic and American Classic in 215/70R16 introduce wide whitewall styling that changes the visual theme of the vehicle. If originality of appearance matters less than tread character, begin with size and load needs; if appearance matters most, start with the sidewall style you want.

For the 2014 Honda Trucks CR-V in 215/70R16, both the Coker Classic Star Series and American Classic Radial use radial construction and wide whitewall styling, but they differ in load and wheel-range details. The Coker Classic carries a maximum load of 2,094 pounds at 32 psi, while the American Classic carries 1,709 pounds at 35 psi. American Classic also shows a rim-width range of 5.50 to 7.50 inches.

The choice between them comes down to how closely you want to match your wheel and how you want to balance appearance with the published rating details. Because both are whitewall radials in the same nominal size, either can suit a style-driven CR-V build using 16-inch wheels, but it is smart to compare the actual wheel width on the vehicle and the tire’s intended service conditions before deciding.

Rim-width guidance is available for several 2014 Honda Trucks sizes. The 215/70R16 spans 5.5 to 7.0 inches in one BFGoodrich application and 5.50 to 7.50 inches in one American Classic application. The 225/65R17 spans 6.0 to 8.0 inches, and the 245/65R17 spans 7.0 to 8.0 inches. Those ranges apply to the individual sizes and should not be carried over to other sizes in the lineup.

Use rim width as a confirmation step after you identify the correct size for your model. A tire may share the same wheel diameter as another 2014 Honda Trucks fitment and still be wrong for the wheel if the section width or approved rim range differs. Check the actual wheel width stamped on the wheel or confirm it through Honda service references before mounting a new tire.

The available 2014 Honda Trucks products here are radial tires without tube-type markings in the size descriptions, so these fitments align with tubeless-style modern applications. That includes the 215/70R16, 225/65R17, and 245/65R17 products. For the other 2014 Honda Trucks sizes, the first check should always be the sidewall marking on the exact tire being installed and the condition of the wheel itself.

In practice, modern Honda wheels in this era are designed around tubeless radial tires, but the wheel still needs to be clean, true, and capable of sealing properly at the bead. If a wheel has corrosion, prior damage, or an uncertain history, address that before mounting fresh tires. Valve stems deserve the same attention, since an aging stem can cause pressure loss that looks like a tire problem.

A 2014 Honda Trucks vehicle should be stored on clean, properly inflated tires away from direct sunlight, standing moisture, and electric motors or appliances that generate ozone. Even though these fitments are radial rather than bias-ply, long static storage can still encourage flat spotting and surface aging if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A cool, dry garage is far better for the rubber than outdoor storage under constant temperature swings.

If the vehicle will sit for months, move it periodically so one section of the tread does not carry the load the whole time. Some owners also use stands to reduce load on the tires during long-term storage, but the suspension should remain supported correctly if you go that route. Clean the tires with mild soap and water only, and avoid dressings that can accelerate cosmetic cracking.

On a 2014 Honda Trucks vehicle, age usually matters more than mileage once the vehicle becomes a lightly used second car, collector driver, or seasonal hauler. A sensible rule is to begin evaluating tires closely around five to seven years of age and to treat ten years as a serious replacement threshold regardless of tread depth. The DOT date code on the sidewall is the best way to establish the tire’s actual age.

That approach matters because tread can look healthy while the internal structure and sidewall rubber are already aging out. Low annual mileage often gives owners a false sense of security, especially on vehicles that spend long periods parked. If a 2014 Honda Trucks model still wears older tires with good-looking tread, a date-code check and a thorough inspection are more meaningful than mileage alone.

Tires on a 2014 Honda Trucks vehicle should be inspected before every drive and again before any longer highway outing. Look for cracking, punctures, bulges, irregular wear, and any sign that one tire is losing pressure faster than the others. Radial tires can mask developing age issues until they are under load, so a quick visual walkaround is worth making a habit.

A more thorough inspection every few months should include tread depth across the full width, sidewall condition on both inner and outer faces, and valve-stem condition. Uneven wear can point to alignment, suspension, or inflation problems rather than a tire defect. Catching those issues early helps a 2014 Honda Trucks vehicle drive more predictably and can prevent replacing a tire when the underlying problem is elsewhere.

2014 Honda Trucks tires in these sizes are modern radial tires, which is the construction most drivers expect for contemporary highway use. Speed ratings that appear here include S, with a 112 mph ceiling, on 225/65R17 and 245/65R17, and R, with a 106 mph ceiling, on one 215/70R16 application. Those ratings are well above ordinary highway speeds, assuming the tires are in sound condition and inflated correctly.

Highway safety depends just as much on age, condition, pressure, alignment, and load as it does on the speed letter. A newer radial with the right load capacity on a properly maintained CR-V, Pilot, or Ridgeline will matter more in real use than chasing excess speed capability. Before extended highway driving, inspect every tire carefully and keep expectations in line with the vehicle’s overall mechanical condition.

Inflation pressure on 2014 Honda Trucks tires should start with the vehicle placard or owner’s manual, then be checked against the tire’s own rated maximum. The available products here show 215/70R16 at 50 psi on one BFGoodrich application, 32 psi on one Coker Classic application, and 35 psi on one American Classic application; 225/65R17 at 65 psi; and 245/65R17 at 65 psi. Those figures are tied to each tire’s maximum load rating and are not automatic everyday running pressures.

That distinction is important because maximum sidewall pressure is not the same thing as the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended operating pressure. A lighter-duty crossover or truck may call for significantly less pressure in normal service to balance ride, tread wear, and handling. Match the pressure to the exact size and product on the vehicle, then fine-tune only within the tire maker’s guidance and the vehicle’s original recommendations.

Before a longer drive in a 2014 Honda Trucks vehicle, inspect all four tires and the spare for cracking, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, uneven wear, and proper cold inflation pressure. Make sure the valve stems are in good shape and the tread has even contact across the surface. If the vehicle has been parked for a while, watch for vibration from temporary flat spotting during the first few miles.

Tires are only one part of the pre-trip check on a modern used vehicle, so it is wise to look at brakes, fluid levels, suspension condition, and the alignment if the steering has felt off. A tire that is the right size can still behave poorly if the chassis underneath it needs attention. Catching those issues before departure makes the whole trip easier on both the tires and the vehicle.
