Re: Tire Size Question (All Motor Dc 4)
Hey all motor dc 4,
They are Bridgestones RE730. I may be bringing my car back, and going with 205/50/15, like everyone on honda-tech recommends. The Wheel tech says there says it will affect the speedo with that size. I'm wondering, what are the pros and cons of running a 205/50/15 tire size.
Thanks

I don't think the make RE730s in 205/50-15, but the comparable Yokohama AVS ES100 comes in 205/50-15, which is less than 0.5 % diff. than OEM tire diameter, per Yoko's spec sheet.
The advantages would be better handling and braking since more rubber meets the road. The DAs are that the steering feel and turn-in may be slightly less. I'd recommend boosting the PSI by 3lbs. over stock, front and rear, to help stiffen things up. You might go more, but it's a trade-off between ride and handling.
