I've got some new 15" wheels comming and can't decide what to wrap them in. I'd like to keep overall diameter close to stock, 195-50-15, 195-55-15, 205-50-15. I'd also like a summer tire that can handle some wet conditions, I'll put the stock ones back on for the winter months.
I'm comming from a big 4x4 with mud tires so I don't know squat about passenger tires and would like some reviews from Fit drivers.
Post up your experience with your tires and please include the size you use. ie Dry traction, Wet traction, Tread wear, Noise, anything else that can help me decide.
Thanks

I've been driving my base model storm silver for about a month now, and just took it on a long drive back and forth from Pittsburgh, so I have about 2K miles on it now. So I'm driving through Astoria and I turn a corner...POP! Huge loud noise. I'm imagining the worst...but I had no idea what the hell I could have hit. Next thing I know, I feel the wobbliness and the vibrations...flat tire!! I must have run over something really sharp (my boyfriend thinks it had to do with the sewer drainage things they have on the street...that it's common to run over them and blow out a tire).
So...I go to Costco, naive enough to think I can find my tire there. They don't carry Dunlops anyway, so the guy sends me to a Goodyear dealer. They have Dunlops but not that model or size, it's way too new. He calls around, no one has 'em. So I go to a Honda dealer. He sends me to a tire guy...and he finds one in Indiana and it's being shipped here, to get here by Friday. Thank God I don't have any big trips to make over the next few days. What a pain...the disadvantages of a new car, when your tires just aren't readily available!
Been seeing more Fits on the road....through Pennsylvania I saw a new Fit Sport owner in silver....then, as I was going through the EZPass for the George Washington Bridge, I pulled up right behind another storm silver sport!! I drove behind it for quite a while, it was a hoot!
And now there's a black base model in my neighborhood that I pass all the time. I also got excited when I saw a Blaze Orange parked in the Hamptons heehee!
Is there a way to prove it wasn't caused by debris? I most definitely ran over something sharp...even the guy at the gas station who changed my tire could tell.
