    Default will 17" wheels look bad on a 2009 honda fit

    i may remove the ones from my integra, and put them on my fit for a while. seems like i keep getting bolts and stuff in my tires. and only honda sells those size tires. they are 160 per tire. i have replaced two tires and have 4,000 miles on that car. (the first tire was my bad)

    if you're buying tires for 160 dollars a peice from honda, & they're telling you they are the only ones who sell that size, you need to do some research.

    a honda fit will not do anything that requires 160 dollar tires lol

    i paid 200 for all 4 of my tires lol

    i already did...googled the tire size, and called five different tire places.
    other than get four new tires....
    that price was mounted and balanced.
    i also do not want mismatched brand tires on my car, and i wanted the tire within the week. riding on a donut and making a long travel isnt a good idea.

    what size??

    that's REDICULOUS for a tire. i ordered my tires for 43 a peice & got them the next day & had them mounted & balanced for $10 a peice.

    it would be cheaper for you to toss the "ELITE HONDA CLUB TIRES" & get 4 new ones....

    next tire mishap.........i am getting new rims AND tires. since i was in a hurry (impatient)to get a tire....they got me.
    i cant remember what size, they are 16" (P185/55HR16?)bridgestone, turanzas. the profile of the tire is weird.
    i have run into this same problem before with another car, and i just put all new tires on the car eventually.

    Just go with a 195 55 16... Falken has that size. And if you buy them at Discount tire, they're only 100 bucks a piece. Better yet. Buy them from there ebay store and they are 94 dollars.. Here's the link
