The manual indicates the following specs for non-Sport tires:
P175/65R14 81S
... which I read to mean:
175 mm wide
.65 sidewall aspect ratio
Radial construction
14" rim
load index of 81, "S" meaning it's rated to 180 km/h (112 mph)
How closely do winter tires (or for that matter, replacement tires) have to conform to these specs?
Do I need to budget for wheels to go with them, or would they just re-use the ones I have on now?
Obviously I could just buy and install from the dealer, but I believe I saw a price of $720 (in Canada) on their service department's price board... didn't clarify whether that included installation or wheels. Some winter tires are on sale for $60 each right now, so the potential savings are enormous.
Note that Canadian Fits don't have the tire pressure monitor, so I don't have to worry about special tires that support TPMS.
Thanks
