Will do ,,there are not many aftermarket suspension upgrades for these vehicles, but they are selling better so it will be a short while for performance STREET parts to be available.Racing parts are always available but they are way too stiff or sometimes not even legal for street use.(DOT regulations and whatevers).

 

One thing I didn't like that much on my FIT Sport was those dunlop tires. Well, after 31k miles I took care of that w/ new set of the Continental DWS 205/50/16's. These are the tires that Honda should put on them. No decrease in MPG and a marked decrease in road noise. They weigh in at 19# ea compared to the 18.5#'s on the duns and essentially the same rev/mile.

 

I get aggravated when I reach up to press for a map light and there
isn't one.

 

While I'm missing my map lights too, the worst thing about my new Fit (2012) is the new car smell. I know lots of folks like the aroma, but I'm about ready to hit it with Febreeze. Thankfully, unlike many others' complaints, mine will get better eventually.

 

I don't think these come in the Base size, but I wish they did....

 

I thought that's what those LED forehead lights were for...

 

Base tire on the 2010 is 175/65 R15
Sport tire on the 2010 is 185/55 R16

I ended up going with a 205/50/16 to match the diam of the stock tire on my Sport.

What tire came stock on your 2011 Base?
Trick is to select a size that closely matches the diameter and revolutions/mile of the stock tire brand.

 

My tires are 175/65/R15. What would be a close match? I really don't want to have to deal with changing the TPMS or odometer.

 

185/60/15 , 195/55/15 , if they are available, as long as rim width and tire diameter are a close match. JJ

 

What's the tire is mounted on the car?

jjsifo is correct, but to match the diameter/revs per mile the tire id is good to know. Each tire has a specific revs/mile rating and this is the best number to selecting a match.

I just put the 205/50/16's Cinti DWS on my car, but other 205/50/16's vary in the revs/mile. Those conti's hit it dead on, so no changes to the speedo.

 

RIGHT,, and I think Tire Rack has all that info. and also on what is available from most manufacturers.

 

So it I go from a 175/65/15 to a 205/55/15, and it says if I'm going 65 on the 175s, I'll be going 64.79 on the 205s, how could I fix this on the odometer?

 

I'm gonna start a new thread on this. Stay tuned no sense hijacking this thread anymore ;-)

175/65/R15 Dunlops. I need to check on the specific model.

 

Man you are getting surgical! ,64.79? (I just made that term up) beats me on the odometer adjustment, JJ

 

Great ,let me know, there are a lot of "if and or but" on this topic, LITTLEBLACKCAR is taking this seriously, JJ

 

Here's the new thread for all to post to. I went through the same issues when selecting my new tires. Learned a lot.

Everyone else - thread is back to what y'all don't like ;-)

 

Well, I do work in an ER.... And, I'm kind of finnicky about my car!

 

OK, that makes sense.I check tire pressures every other day and consider myself obsessive about how the car handles,same with brakes and oil changes,which kind and brand oil ,etc etc.
