2009 accord tire sizes
I am looking to buy new tires for my 09 accord and the factory size is 215 60 16 but I was on discount tires website and they have a bunch of additional tire sizes that say plus zero so they should work. The question I have is that I am just looking for a set of all season tires for as little as I can get them for. I found a set of 205 65 16 kumho solus tires on ebay that say they will fit on discount tires site so I am just wondering if these will work? if so I will most likely get them since they are only $55 a tire and $296 shipped to the door. Thanks in advance.

Re: 2009 accord tire sizes
The 8G Accord is a big and heavy car. I would not want to go with narrower (and taller) tires than what's OEM for the I4s.
If you would have said 225 (wider) /60/16, I would go for it. But not 205 (narrower) and 65 (taller).

Re: 2009 accord tire sizes
Will they "work"? If you mean will they fit on your 16" rims and hold air, yes, they will work. That said, choosing a tire based solely on how much it costs and its approximate size will almost certainly compromise many, if not all, of the things you now take for granted about your '09 Accord LX, such as handling feel, ride, turning, stopping, tire noise, fuel and tire mileage, wet weather performance, etc. If nothing else, a taller, narrower tire will feel different. And you certainly need to determine if the loading capacity of the tire you are considering is comparable to what you have now.
If you are determined to do this, the link that follows will allow you to compare the rolling diameter of your potential tire choices to see how non-OEM tire sizes may affect your car's speedometer. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...honpNArOY9eXLw.
For further comparisons, you can go to tirerack.com, select a brand of tire you are considering and read the comparisons, comments, criticisms and appraisals written by other Tirerack customers. And of course you can always speak with a Tirerack representative WRT the loading capacity of a particular tire, if nothing else. While far from perfect, these steps may prevent you from choosing a set of tires that you'll come to hate.
