the bolt pattern for honda, you could step up the tire ratings easy. the little 13s can't even do highway..there are trailer tires with greater ratings.

I learned this with 13 years of old subaru, the last 3 years have been with 15 inch wheels versus 13.

I have no sign of wear, 16-20k miles, and saved fuel.

the FWD and lightweight of the honda should not be a deterrent for greater wheel tire combo. At 15 inch you can go all ratings, I choose "T" and 89 weight. 13 inch canlt do much, and even 14 inch has limits.

The little wheels save nothing and are even life risking.
