my son has a 95 honda civic, with 17 wheels and the tire size of 215/45/17 . he is buying new wheels and tires, so we thought we would buy what is on the car already, since it looks good, but the tire dealer is recommending a tire size of 205/45/17 .what is best, is there really that much differance?
What speeds were you reaching? Above 20mph you should barely notice any weight in the handlebars. btw Yamaha make the FZ-range, not Kawasaki.
205 vs 215 would hardly make a difference except may be a marginal difference in fuel economy.
Did your car come with 2 different tire sizes? Do you think there may be a reason for that?
For the 215 vs 205, it should not make too much of a difference but since 205 is the standard for the Civic, they will get better fuel economy.
