Oops! My Bad! I will edit the above to say 205/60/-15

If you are replacing the stock Firestones and keeping your factory wheels I would go with the 195/60-15 size. The tread is a little bit wider and the diameter is so close you won't have to worry about speedometer error.

The wider & softer the tire, the more your gas mileage starts going downhill too (if that matters )

are their any chances of rubbing or anything with the 205/60-15. and with that size you will get the smallest amount of speedo error.

Funny you suggest that size, that is the new OEM size for the '04 EXs. Damn Honda has to put bigger and better tires on now after I bought my '03!!!!

I'd get 205/55. There is nothing uglier than a fat tire from the side. Stock size sucks, IMO. It takes away the purpose of showing off the wheel.

Hell, I'd prefer it if I could Fit 13's on my car........ But thats just for racing. Oh well, I guess my 15' Slipstreams will have to do.

Yeah, it's too bad that particular brand of tire they want doesn't come in a 205/55 size.

Try Dunlop FM901s. They take 51 psi, are pretty decent come rain/ shine. To up the ante, try SP9000s.

Michelin Symmetrys. Awesome tire. Don't get Falkens. That's only my advice though. Right now you can get a free DVD Player also with a set of 4 michelins.
