Do you guys think 235/55/18 would be to big of a tire to run for the winter I have a buddy with Rdx wheels and tires for sale really cheap and I wanna know if you guys think the tire size would be an issue?

 

Anyone??

 

Diameter difference of 8%

speedometer will be 8% slower


additionally, you can go to http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp

 

My question is would it look funny and are the tires to tall and wide for the tsx?

 

^he's your buddy right?

swap rims to test fit.
being wide isnt the issue.

its the profile height thats the issue, again making your speedo off by 8%
and any taller tire than stock will look funny....

 

Ya good point

 

I feel like they would look weird having that huge of a sidewall. Also 8% off will be bad.

 

8% is A LOT.

 

Just to be sure, I used the calculator with the specs of 225/50/17
I think that is stock for you TSXers

 

yes that is the specs of our stock tires. and 8% is a lotttt and you're screwing with your odometer which can result in voiding of the warranty (ceb's power has infused me) so if you feel like screwing with your warranty, go for it. i would not use those tires though.

 

What about 245 45 19??

 

I gave you the website to the calculator....

really, all you have to do is punch in numbers...and it does the math for you.

You want to stay as close as factory rolling diameter as possible.
with the new proposed tire size, there is a diameter difference of 6%.
to me, thats still too much.
your speedo will be off.

a 245/40/19 WOULD BE BETTER.
But also depends on wheel selection and its specs.

 

All you need to research and learn about fitment:
