Default 500H Summer Tires sizes

What size are the summer tires that come with the 500H when you dont get the all season?

My all seasons are 235/50/21

There are no summer tires in those sizes.

I am thinking their different size as well, because I checked TireRack and there is no Michelin choices. As I was looking for Michelin Pilots P4s that all preproduction 500s on You Tube had. I wonder if you zoom in on the videos if you could see the size or maybe Tire Rack isn't up to date.

Exactly! Im willing to bet they are nicer and in more common sizes allowing us more options than this crappy Bridgestone's

I managed to receive this info for off-set of the rims:
This is the information provided for the F Sport performance Rims:

21 inch X 8J, inset 40


Surprising enough, no one is complaining about the ride of the 21s.

But, if you want more choice (and I am considering doing this), if you change to 20s, then the choices open up exponentially.

We don't drive that many miles each year (and we're in Canada), so All-Weather rubber is also a consideration for us.

We may still give the 21s a good test drive while checking 20" rims.

To be exact, the summer tires are Michelin Pilot Sport SUV 235/50/21. '23 RX in Japan comes with them already. Yeah I know summer tiress on Japan cars in the winter?! After checking these tires are not available yet and hopefully soon as summer is around the corner.

The pics that my dealer took of my car that was delivered from factory yesterday unfortunately has Bridgestones wrapped on the wheels. I was hoping it would be the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (which are the best and I have currently on my Type R) but they’re not. I’m sure these are standard size tires that can be swapped per what we all watched on the YouTube reviews.

So if these rims are 8in wide, they can def take the more common 245/45/21 tire which is the Michelin Pilot Sport All season
