Are these tires gonna hurt my Accord 2002 SE?
Hi everyone!
I'm a new member & very glad that I found this forum. I've just bought an used 4-door Accord 2002 SE 2.3L L4 SOHC 16V. This is also my first car thus I'm pretty a newbie in terms of car knowledge. As far as I get from the user manual, the P195/65R15 tires should be used for my car. However, the previous owner recently bought the 205/65R15 FEDERAL SS-657 95H tires. These tires are indicated NOT compatible with my car on Amazon. Are these tires gonna hurt my Accord 2002 SE?
Btw, I had my car inspected at an auto garage near my place. Everything was fine except the front brakes have only 15% left & the battery voltage is about 12.48V. They recommended me to replace the battery for about $149 & the front brakes for also $149. Is the price reasonable?
Any suggestion/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

That tire size shouldn't be a problem. Just a few mm larger in diameter and in width, but others have used tires of that size.
Your speedometer will read a few % lower, so you're actually going a bit faster than you think. Just in case you see many speed traps at the north pole...?
Seems like $149 is a bit high for a new battery. They are easy to install yourself & some AutoZone-type places will install them for you.
Front brakes $149 is probably more reasonable, for pads & rotors. That's also a more difficult job if you want to do it yourself. Are you thinking about that??

I thought Amazon is based in Seattle, WA. Does it make the difference?
