CRV-tire size question
I have seen some posts where people have replaced their OEM 205/70/15
size tires with 225/70/15. What are the real advantages of doing this? |
Re: CRV-tire size question
Actually, 215/65/15 would be the optimum size as the tire diameter is very
close to the OEM size. Advantage is putting a wider footprint on the road and making the tire fill up the wheel well a little more and give the vehicle a more aggressive stance. Different reasons for different folks is the best way I can put it.

Depends on what you consider important. 205 will be marginally better for economy. 225 will be marginally better for contact patch (i.e. - traction). Of course you could deflate 205's a little and get similar results. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= *** Usenet.com - The #1 Usenet Newsgroup Service on The Planet! *** http://www.usenet.com Unlimited Download - 19 Seperate Servers - 90,000 groups - Uncensored -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Re: CRV-tire size question
Unless you're in snow, where the narrower the tire, the better the traction.

Re: CRV-tire size question
The bigger tire will sling more crap on the sides of the car( mud bla bla
bla ) especially when you corner, they may even rub when going over bumps.
