215/60x15 - any fitment issues

Search won't let me use "215/60" as a term, so I'll just have to ask

My OEM steelies are 15x6.5 so they match the recommended rim width for the tire. Any clearance issues with this size?

I think Traction T/A looks like a good choice, unless anyone has any negative comments about that tire.

Thanks.

Can't remember exactly, but I thought you wanted to get Alloy Wheels??? If you do, I think you should wait on getting a whole new set of tires that could cost X amount of dollars for old steels that you plan on replacing. I mean theres no real reason to get rid of a perfectly good set of tires and throw them away. It's just plain wasteful and harmful to the enviroment. But by all means do what you think you need to do, these are just my opinions.

You have a good memory! I had thought about getting some used 16" wheels but now I'm not sure. I'm not 100% sure I'm going to replace the tires either, but I really don't like the way 195s look on the 6.5" rims.

I also failed to follow everyone's advice on the rear sway bar and have bought a stock Accord bar from someone on this forum, rather than the popular upgrade to an Accura bar.

I'm going through transition pains with this new car and keep thinking of things to change because the handling is not what I'd like. However, I have to remember that comparing my new Accord VP with my WRX is just silly - I got the Accord for a completely different reason and it's a great family car.

Andy.
