205/55/15 id say thats the best

 

didn't you say thogh that you have that same size and that you are rubbing??

 

whoops my bad...205/50/15...yeah...not 55. 50's is what im getting they should be fine my 55 only rubs when i take a VERY hard turn...but there is no uneven wear on my tires still...an not to mention remember mines a 2 inch drop so u should still be fine with 55 anyways unless urs is 2in also...

 

The best size tire would be either a 195/55R15 or 205/50R15. If I can help with the tires let me know.

 

I have a 09 sport with stock suspension and was wanting to get new rims 16x7 +43offset, what tire size would be best?

 

You can run either a 185/55R16 or 205/50R16 no problem. If I can help with the tires let me know.

 

sent you an email

 

Has anyone run "reinforced" tires? What pressures do you use?

I run Toyo Proxes 4s, 205/45ZR16 87W reinforced. As far as I can understand, the "reinforced" tires can take more weight (my old ones were load-/speed-rated 83V) but have to be inflated about 5 psi more than normal. So basing from the doorjamb reading 32 psi front/30 psi rear, and the +5 psi rule, I should be running 37 psi front/35 psi rear.

Anyone else on reinforced tires? Would like to see if we run similar pressures. Ride quality suffers a little due to the higher air pressure in my rubber.

 

I can't decide. My goals are better mileage and a quieter ride than my stock dunlop 16s. Any recomendations?

 

I am not sure that I can get you better ride quality. I can get you better handling and longer tread life. I would look at going with a 205/50R16 in the size. It is going to be a little wider and the same height.
If I can help let me know.

 

What tire can you recommend for me in 205/50R16? Looking for the perfect balance of price, performance and treadwear. Comfort isnt a deal breaker for me. Price will be though. Sorry I know its a pretty vague question.

 

Normally we look at 204/45-16 as the size for the FIT.

However 205/50-16 will be a little tall at 24.1" tire diameter but still work with the stock suspension. 50 series sidewall will allow for a little more comfort.

For good price, decent performance, and longer treadwear-
General Exclaim UHP $78 each, 380 treadwear
Fusion ZRi $82 each, 320 treadwear
Kumho Ecsta SPT $80 each, 320 treadwear
Yokohama S.Drive $91 each, 300 treadwear

 

Well considering the stock tire diameter is 24.0" I think 24.1" will be better than the 23.3" diameter of the 205/45...

 

I think we have different year Fits-

I was referring to stock tire size on 2007-2008 Fit Sport

Stock tire diameter 23.4". 195/55-15

For 2009 Fit Sport
16" wheels and 185/55-16 tires 24.2" tire diameter

 

Yeah I have an 09, stock tire size is 185/55R16.

 

In the 205/50R16 if you are looking for longer tread life I would go with an all season tire. You will loose some performance to gain the tread life. I would take a look at the Goodyear GT at 89.00 each. If you stay with a longer wearing performance tire I would look at the General Exclaim UHP at 78.00 each.
If I can help let me know.

 

Those generals look like the winner, thanks!

 

If you order online just enter my name as a previous contact and I will get them on the way.
Thank you ,

 

Ill be ordering them in about 2 weeks but ill put your name down, thanks.

 

This is probably a really dumb question for all of you that know this stuff. Would there be an reason or advantage for me to go to a 15" wheel instead of my stock 16's? This is my daily commuter car. I will never hit a track. Is there a reason that one size 15, 16 or even 17 is better than another?
