I have a 2010 Fit Sport purchased in the US, with stock tires - Dunlop SP Sport 7000 AVS, size 185/55R/16. Replaced the rear tires (with same model/size) before moving to Mexico a few months ago, but now the front tires need to be replaced. I'm having difficulty locating a direct replacement for the OEM tires in the same size, and closest our local tire dealer can suggest is a Bridgestone in 185/55/16, but they're expensive (about $188 US per tire).

Another tire dealer suggested the following available replacement tires in a different size (I assume I'd need to replace all 4 tires if changing size, correct?). Will any of these work:

Maxxis MS 800, size 195/55/16
Dunlop (model?), size 205/55/16
Goodyear Eagle LS, size 205/55/16

Another possibility that we haven't checked yet is that Costco in Guadalajara (a bit of a drive) has a sale on a set of 4 Michelins, but we haven't gone to see what they have available on model or sizing. We assume they won't have the OEM size to match our rear tires since it's apparently very unusual here. If we get a new set of 4, what alternate size(s) would work best?

Driving conditions: Where we live has fairly rough surfaces, including regular pavement, large cobblestones, paving stones in concrete, gravel and some dirt. There are a LOT of "topes," which are moderate to large size speedbumps. The Fit handles most of the bumps pretty well, but I absolutely DON'T want to lower the car any or I'd be scraping. There will also be some highway driving at 60-80 MPH on fairly good to very good surfaces to and from the US. No performance driving, but a big concern is tire wear from the surfaces here.

Thanks for any input!

 

run 205/50/16 its .1 bigger from stock does not affect gas MPG im currently useing Continental DW its a great tire

 

205/50/16

 

Thanks. In a pinch, if I can't locate 205/50/16, will either of the other sizes mentioned above work?

 

If those are your only choice do 195/55/16, the tire is a little taller than stock so your speedo will read a little slow, but not by much.
