Q. Hi. I have a 2008 Honda City ZX VTEC with stock tyres sized 175/65 R14. I wish to upgrade to 205/50 R15 which is just a 0.5% variation in the total wheel diameter. Is it still going to adversely affect the steering response, odometer as well as speedomete
Hey there, Tyres can be upsized from 175/65R14 to 205/50R15, however, you would need to get a new alloy wheel setup since the stock ones cannot be used. Steering response would not get affected, however, there are chances that the speedometer reading would give you false information. In addition to the upsizing, you would need to reconfigure the speedoometer to get correct readings.NOTE: Tyre upsizing is not recommended since it reduces the fuel economy figures.
