Tire replacement on a 6th gen. size question
There is nothing and I mean nothing worth having in the way of tires in the stock 195/65-15 size for the sixth gen Accords.
Has anyone used a 205/60-15 on a 6th gen? Any problems or did they work well? I don't feel like getting larger wheels at the moment other wise I would go to 16" just for the better tire selection.

Dude, I'd go with the Dunlop SP Sport 5000 Symmetrical or Yoko AVS dB in 195/65-15, but you should have any problems with a 205/60-15 either.
We all put 205/55-15 (up from 195/60-15 on our 15x5.5 stockers) no problem. Idealy the wheel would be 6" or wider, but it works.

Well thanks for the info on the 205/55's. 205/50 is a closer match to the stock tires and is off by less than one mile an hour at 60mph.
I am not so sure on those Yoko's as I have not heard good things about them and tirerack reviews are mixed. As for the Dunlop's well I have never driven on a set that were woth a damn. I have had nothing but bad luck with them, in particular the D60A2's which many seemed to love but I found to be absolute crap.
