  Accord Tire Size Question« » Reply  Edit


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!

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

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

i was with him until put the boulder in the back, i just got a mental image of a boulder in the back seat of an 89 accord, and the 4 fucktards trying to load in it in the parking lot of a home depot.

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

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?

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?

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...

also, may want to take a look at this...
