Irony,
After yesterday’s posting, I found a pair of 185/65/15’s on rims for cheap on CL!!!
185/65/14 OD=23.5 inches
185/65/15 OD=24.5 inches
4% difference.
I have a total of 8 miles on them now. The effects on the civic are fairly dramatic. It’s a different car. It feels like it’s bigger and sitting higher. The shift points are noticeably changed. The handling is much more squishy than the 195’s.
The fronts did rub a little when turning out of my steep driveway. The 195/60/15’s never did that. However, everything seemed good on the road
Stay tuned for MPG and other comments…
