My wife has a 2007 Accord VP. The manual recommends 195 65 R15 tire size. Her current tires are Bridgestone Turannza EL41. 25.0" dia., 7.9" width, 89 load, 833 Rev. Per Mile. I really like Continental Contiextremecontact tires. They are only availible in 205 65 R15. 25.5" dia., 8.2" width, 92 load 818 Rev Per. Mile. By the time the Conti is worn out it will be the same size as the Turannza when new. The manual warns about anti-lock brakes potentially not working properly with wrong tire size. 195 65 R15 limits my tire choices. Can I safely use the larger size or does anyone have suggestions on a good snow traction all-season tire.

 

Can you get the Continentals in 205/60/R15? That would be much better, but you will be fine using the larger tire. The speedometer will be reading 60mph when you are actually traveling at 61.2mph, so tell her not to speed!

 

225 60 R15 205 65 R15 205 55 R15 only three 15" available

 

Looks like the 205/65/R15 will have to do then, the others are just too big/small to put any high mileage on...

 

In 2003 the standard tire for Accord DX was 195/65-15.
Same year, the standard tire for the LX was 205/65-15.

Mine (LX) has the205 stock tires, but I have195 snow tires. You dont notice any difference driving, but if you pay attention you can see the difference in visual fender clearance.
