Tires: tire sizes, tire size calculator, static conditions
QuestionI have 2006 honda accord, presently with 205 60 16s bro in law has a good set of 215 65 16 s will these fit with no problems ?
I think physically they will, but my tire size calculator suggests approximately 1.7 inches taller, will this affect any of the electronics? abs, etc. i know the speedo will read a little slower.
Thanks, Frank
AnswerFrank,
According to Discount Tire, a 215/65R16 will rub. It might not look like it under static conditions, but you have to consider that the worst condition is when the steering is fully turned and the suspension completely collapsed - and i=the car happens to reach that under high speed, the car could rip the tire open and very bad things could result.
