Max width tires on OEM rims?
Its about time to replace the tires on my EX and was wondering how wide a tire I can put on the stock 15s without having any adverse effects. I found a set of Yokohama AVS Intermediates in 205/60/15 for cheap and was wondering if they would fit without any problems.
Thoughts?

Normally, each rim width is capable of being fitted with multiple tire-widths... I wouldn't suggest going up more than 20mm or so, I assume that the sidewall can only flex so much to accomodate the different width rim before sidwall flex is affected too much (and perhaps the tread flexes too much).
According to michelin, actually, they suggest 195/60/15, 195/65/15, or 205/60/15...at least according to them I should be fine.
