Acura Ilx2.4l Tires — Fitment by Year

The 2013 Acura ILX 2.4L is the performance-oriented variant of Acura's compact sport sedan lineup, pairing a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with a six-speed manual transmission. As a sport-tuned front-wheel-drive platform, tire selection has a direct impact on handling response, cornering grip, and everyday driving confidence. Getting the right tire for this vehicle means balancing performance characteristics with the practical demands of daily driving.

The 2013 ILX 2.4L was originally fitted with 17-inch wheels, and the OEM tire size for this trim is typically 215/45R17. That relatively short sidewall — reflected in the 45-series aspect ratio — contributes to sharper steering response and reduced flex during cornering, which suits the sport character of this trim. When replacing tires, staying close to the original diameter helps maintain accurate speedometer readings and preserves the intended handling geometry. Any deviation in overall diameter beyond roughly 3 percent can affect these systems, so consult a fitment calculator before sizing up or down.

For tire category, most drivers of the ILX 2.4L are well served by an ultra-high-performance all-season tire, which delivers strong dry and wet grip while remaining usable through light winter conditions. If you live in a region with significant snow or ice, a dedicated winter tire set mounted on a separate wheel set is the more effective and safer approach — all-season tires are a compromise, and performance-oriented ones in particular can stiffen noticeably in cold temperatures, reducing grip below the threshold where a true winter tire excels. Summer performance tires are also a strong option for drivers in warmer climates who prioritize maximum grip and don't face freezing temperatures.

Load rating is straightforward for a compact sport sedan of this class. The ILX 2.4L does not carry heavy payloads, so standard passenger car load ratings — typically Standard Load (SL) — are appropriate. Speed rating is worth paying attention to given the performance nature of this trim; look for tires rated H (130 mph) or V (149 mph) at minimum, and many performance-oriented fitments in this size will carry W or Y ratings, which is acceptable. Higher speed ratings generally indicate a tire constructed for higher-stress driving conditions, which aligns with spirited use of the 2.4L.

Because tires are sized specifically to the rim width and vehicle suspension geometry, always verify your exact trim and any modifications before purchasing. If the vehicle has been lowered or if aftermarket wheels with a different width have been installed, the ideal tire width and aspect ratio may differ from the stock recommendation. Cross-reference your door jamb placard and confirm the installed wheel width to ensure the tire you select falls within the manufacturer's approved mounting range. When in doubt, use the filter tools on this page with your confirmed wheel size to surface compatible options.
