Hi all,

I have a 2k TL-P and am looking to outfit it with winter wheels/tires, do 15" wheels (Accord) clear the brakework?
I'm looking into doing this to keep cost down on this setup, as 65/15's are much more cost effective than 60/16's (not to mention easier to find).

My local Acura Dealer does not know, as it's not something that Acura lists.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob.

NJTLS,

I'm not sure what it will run, although it should be quite a bit cheaper as they will be a smaller rim size and higher profile tire. I'm hoping that a 15" rim/tire package will run me about the same as a good set of all season radials at 16". Once I determine whether or not they fit, I'll see what the cost difference is. I may just price a package out at my tire guy here and see what they run, and may get him to bring a 15" rim in to test fit if he doesn't know.

Well,

I took the plunge and got a set of Nokian A.W.P. 2 Tires.

My tire guy loves these...he says that these were the "first true all season tire". They are rated for 70k-80k KM's.

I got the 205/60/R16's $750 CAD for the set installed and taxes included. I get them installed tomorrow.
