Default Re: different size tires

This is one area where I'm sure Honda did their research. I would imagine that any change in tire size, accompanied by a recalibration of the speedometer, would have a negative effect, if at all measurable.

Not sure why you would want to fix something that isn't broke. Is there some specific reason you want to go up in size?
