Switching winter tires
I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not I can switch winter
tires from a 2002 honda civic onto a 2005 RSX Type S. I know that the civic
the tires are for 15" rims and the rsx is for 17" rims. I woudln't put the
rubber on the acura rim, I would buy a black winter rim. But would i be able
to put the winter rim on the car with the winter tire?
Thanks

Re: Switching winter tires
You'll have to know the aspect ratio (tire height divided by the tire
width) which is usually 60% more or less. It's included in the numbers
stamped on the rubber - i.e. 205/60R15 where 60 is the aspect ration.
So a bigger rim with a lower aspect ratio tire might be the same
diameter as the smaller rim and tire combo, which is the important
thing. A tire shop should be able to give you the diameters of
different tire sizes. Or go to
http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp where they say to keep
within 3% of the original.
