I recently inherited a unicorn. An 01, garaged Accord EX sedan with 42k miles. Still looks and drives like new. I plan on keeping it but my worn out knees can't deal with how low this thing sits. I've got to replace the tires anyway even though they look new the manufacture date on them is almost 12 years old. I was nervous driving it home to Florida from N. Georgia. Anyway, I was considering 205/70 15 on the stock alloys for some slight gains and will later do something with the suspension if needed. The tire size increase should correct the speedo too as I noticed it's off (under) by 2-3 mph @60 mph. Seems that is normal for Hondas of this era. I thought I would check here for some expert, real world advice first as this is the first car I've ever owned(I've only owned trucks). But this car has a lot of sentimental value so I will not be doing a whole lot to it other than some creature comforts like a new head unit.
After some more research, I'm leaning more towards 215/65 15's.
Still looking for opinions. Oh and this is a 4 cyninder. Even though I won't be street racing it I realize there will be more rotating mass so I'm expecting some minor get up and go loss.
Thanks in advance!
