Tire size

10'Insight · 05-05-2011, 04:47 PM

After just 27,000 miles my Dunlop tires are shot. I'm looking at the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422's which are also LRR tires. Bridgestone will not have the factory 175/65 15 tire size available until this summer. The tire store wants me to buy the 185/65 15 tires instead. I'm concerned about the obvious. Inside rubbing, MPG drop, Speedometer change......

Does anyone have any experience changing their tire size on their 2010 Honda Insight?

Welcome aboard.

I doubt 10mm x4 would make any measurable difference. I am sold on the yoks and can not tell any diff in mpg. Wonder why they are not doing a +1 vs just a slight bit more width?
