Accord Tire Size Question
 

Hi, I have a 2000 Honda Accord LX 4 foor sedan. I have been running 195-15 tires, but have been offered a free set of 205-15 tires. I have been told that I can "go up one size" in tires, but could not go down to 185s.

Is this correct? Will the 205s be OK on my vwhicle?

Thanks in advance!

what is aspec ratio number on your tires? ie 195-60/15?

Re: Accord Tire Size Question (o-man)
 

I believe that those years cam with 195/65r15, So I'm thinking that you can use 205/60r15 without a sweat

Re: Accord Tire Size Question (o-man)
 

I currently have 195-65-15

Re: Accord Tire Size Question (craigseuf)
 

Yes, that's the size I am using now. 195-65-15

Re: Accord Tire Size Question (craigseuf)
 

Yeah, now what is the compete size of the 205s? If it's 205/60, you're good to go.

These are 205-65-15...will they work?

Re: Accord Tire Size Question (craigseuf)
 

eh, it's about a 1/2" bigger on the OD... a 205/60/15 would be better IMO.

You'll be fine.

Well, I am getting the tires for free so it's not an issue of choice. So you're saying I can use the 205-165-15s?

Re: Accord Tire Size Question (craigseuf)
 

LOL, I have one person from MI telling me I'll be fine, and the other person from MI telling me another size would be better?

Re: Accord Tire Size Question (craigseuf)
 

The size is very close to stock, and it will work. If you were paying big money for the tires, then 205-60 would be better (if you had a choice), but since it's free, just get them.

I never said the others wouldn't work fine, just that I feel the 60 would be better...

Hi, I have a 1990 Honda Accord exi, the tyres i have on at the moment are
P195/65R14 90h. The question i would like to ask is can i go to a different size? And what size would fit? I was looking at 175/70/14 would this size be fine?

Re: Accord Tire Size Question
 

Actually, the manual for my 96 accord reccomends 205/55/15 as an option as well..

I have also run 205/60/15 without any issues..
