| Tires Question
I own a 07 Civic LX Sedan
The tire recommendation is
205 55 16
But can I put on
195 65 15 (Winter Tires)
Instead
And will it damage the car?
And what about the breaks, will it be less effective?
Thanks

Thanks but I kind of knew it will work apparantly because 205 55 16 and 195 65 15 tires have about the same diameter, but since its a 15 inch rim I don't know if it will fit the breaks or damage it when installing perhaps. I was mostly asking
- Will it damage the car?
- What about the breaks, will it be less effective?
- Have anyone put on the 195 65 15 before on their Civic

- Will it damage the car? No unless inflicted by your own poor driving. The speedometer will not be accurate because you've changed the rotation frequency
- What about the breaks, will it be less effective? unaware of whether taking breaks while driving are effective or not solely based on changing your tire size , no scientific research has been done on such a retarded topic.
- Have anyone put on the 195 65 15 before on their Civic ? Yes but they probably didn't live to tell their tale |

1. Brakes
2. There will be little to no affect on braking capabilities, possibly a slight improvement.
3. No, what could possibly be damaged?
4. What Jgresh said.
