#40 of 93 Re: What is the largest rim size i can put on my FIT ? [clarksteryn] by crazedcommuter Jan 30, 2008 (6:13 pm)
Replying to: clarksteryn (Jan 28, 2008 10:32 am) I have a set of Blizzack 185 60 15 on my 2005 Scion and I'm in my 3rd winter with them. I drove 112 miles/day for the 1st 2 winters and drive 60 this winter in the DC-West Virginia corridor. Great tires! I roll in snow where the giant SUV's slide and wreck. I don't track mileage with them nor my summer tires. I got the upgraded rims when I bought the car new and requested the stock rims for my snow tires. The Firestone dealer that I purchased the Blizzacks from said that I should get 2 seasons out of them but there is still about 1/2 tread depth left in this 3rd season. I swap the snows on in November and swap out in April. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: clarksteryn (Feb 02, 2008 7:21 am)

Replying to: crazedcommuter (Jan 30, 2008 6:13 pm) Yes, very helpful. I was wondering about the Blizzacks as I will be commuting back and forth to Detroit (about 80 miles one-way) and I was wondering how many miles I could get out of a set of Blizzacks; and it appears that I will be able to at least get two seasons out of them, maybe three. This will work for me. Thanks for adding your info on your experience with those tires.
#42 of 93 Full-Sized Spare by bigred12 Apr 22, 2008 (11:36 am)
Has anyone tried to put a full-sized spare in the storage well? If so, does it fit both in diameter and depth? (Will the cargo area floor lid lie flat?)
#43 of 93 What changes on the Fit by emmett5 Jun 06, 2008 (3:36 pm)
I drive a 2007 Honda Fit Sport that comes stock with size 195/55/15 tires. I have changed those for size 205/55/16. What is my actual speed when the speedometer says 30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100 and whats the difference between my actual traveled distance and what the odometer says or is the difference so small its not worth noting?

#44 of 93 ???Tire Size??? by blackberry2 Jun 07, 2008 (7:57 am)
I have a 2008 Fit Sport MT with 195/55/15 tires and want to know if I can sub. 195/60/15 tires. If it is possible (not scrape when turning), what effect would I encounter? With Speed-odometer-MPG calculation?

Replying to: emmett5 (Jun 07, 2008 8:56 am) You can find tire size calculators online, but the difference in diameter of those two tires is about 6% and your speedometer is going to be off by a corresponding amount. Not insignificant. Also, I've seen recommendations that anything more than a 3% increase can lead to brake issues not to mention possible suspension issues when you change the size of the tire/wheel combo.

#48 of 93 MPG negatively impacted with the bigger tires? by igloomaster Jul 31, 2008 (8:57 am)
question: is MPG negatively impacted with the bigger tires? for example, the '08 fit base comes with 14" tires. But if I wanted to, I could buy 15" or 16" rims/tires to fit this vehicle. I'm wondering if the bigger tires would negatively impact MPG. Opinions?    (I know the speedometer/odometer would not be accurate/need adjusting)
#49 of 93 New Tires by fitman548 Jul 31, 2008 (12:43 pm)
Hey all, my 2007 sport AT is approaching 50k miles. The OEM Dunlops are doing ok, but probably need replacing in the next 10-15k miles. Anyone put new tires on? I got Yoko V4s for my wifes Acura, they seem to be doing well, but they're all-season. I just want comfort and quiet, in a summer tire. I don't need super grip or anything.
