Upsize Tires on 2008 Fit Sport
Upsize Tires on 2008 Fit Sport
Good day all,
I am needing new tires for My 2008 Fit Sport.
The original tires are 195/55R15.
My first replacement set was Michelin Pilot Exalto.
I got nearly 70K miles out of them.
I want Michelins again... but...
it seems that Michelin no longer makes ANY 195/55R15 tires at all.
Has anyone tried 195/60R15 tires on this car?
Every tire dealer I ask says they won't fit.
By the numbers and the space I can see under my car: front wheels turned to locks, it would be very close, but do-able using /60 height tires.
Has anyone tried these?
Any rubbing or other negative issues?
Thank you in advance.
I need the tires VERY soon.

First thing to check: overall tire diameter.
You should stay within +/-3% of the original diameter.
You can use any tire calculator available on the web...
