Q. For a Honda BRV 2016, some tire dealers are recommending an offsize tire (205/60R16) in lieu of the recommended size (195/60R16) claiming that this is a lower-priced tire and will give a more comfortable ride as well as higher safety. Please comment.

Hey there, We usually do not recommend tyre upsizing as the whole process affects the performance of the vehicle as well as the fuel economy. However, upsizing tyres by a few percent will not create any problems. As for your vehicle, tyres sized 205/60R16 is not at all a bad option. In fact, the vehicle's stability and traction are increased significantly. In short, you can go ahead and purchase tyres that the dealers recommend.
