Another tire question
Is there any concern as far as ABS,electronics, etc. for using smaller
tires(winter). I have a perfect set from my previous vehicle, size 195/55/15 and my new car is equipped with 205/55/16 with 195/65/15 as a substitute ( as per Honda spec). I know about speedometer showing not corect speed. Any thoughts? |

If it has Honda RealTime AWD, you can use four tires of the same size, but your spare should also be the same size (unless you're just going a few miles).

General rule of thumb is that you should remain within 3% when changing tire/rim sizes, but I don't know if it'll affect your ABS all that significantly. One other point: I'm not sure how stringent the insurance companies are in your country, but if they notice that you had the wrong size tires at the time you crashed, they may deny coverage. Same goes for warranty claims related to ABS, brakes, suspension, etc. Personally, I would sell the tires you have and purchase the correct size. Cheers, Pete |

Re: Another tire question
Last time I was in the tire market, my dealer only had a set of 205's
for my '92 Accord LX instead of the 195's it should take. I bought them, and found it only had a small effect on the odometer. This is an old technology car, without ABS and it has drum brakes on the rear. Stuff I can fix if it breaks. Don't know what I'd buy if this one can't be driven any longer. bob Irena Kluska wrote: > > Is there any concern as far as ABS,electronics, etc. for using smaller > tires(winter). > I have a perfect set from my previous vehicle, size 195/55/15 and my new car > is equipped with 205/55/16 with 195/65/15 as a substitute ( as per Honda > spec). > I know about speedometer showing not corect speed. > Any thoughts? |
