They are very similar. The 55 is slightly lower and wider. Do NOT put one of each on same axle.
YES, The P stands for passenger tire / Lite Tire. For cars and small trucks. The other tire is a heaver tire for full size trucks, vans ect.
With 14" wheels 185/70r14 and with 15" wheels or ex would be 195/60r15.
EX 2 and 4 door 195/60R15 All wagons 195/60R15 DX 185/70R14 LX 185/70R14 SE 195/60R15 Determine your model and match accordingly
Yes you can, but it is not suggested. The factory tire size on your vehicle is there because that is the size of tire to make your vehicle run at it's peak performance. Just remember this: P=passenger. LT=Light Truck. T=Temporary. 195=Width of the tire, sidewall to sidewall in mm. 55=Height of the tire rim to tread. R15=Rim size. so R15 means that tire is made for a rim of 15 inches. The R means Radial.
The original tires that came with the 1996 EX-R were most likely 195/60R15. These tires were also availiable on the 1996 Accords: 185/65R15.
The correct size tire is 185/70-14 on a sedan and 195/60-15 on a EX sedan. If you are referring to an EX sedan this is a decent swap. Your speedometer will read 58.8 mph and a true 60 mph.
no
Probably, especially if the other dimensions are the same as the bigger tire. Be advised that you will not receive as good gas mileage.
NO, this is an unacceptable swap. The 205/70 tire will be 4.34% too large in overall diameter. Your speedometer will read 57.3 at a true 60 mph. Ride, handling, performance, and braking will be adversely effected. You should not move to a 70 series tire because you will have to install size 185/70-15 to be an acceptable swap which will effect all aspects of the tire. You can go to a 65 series tire in size 195/65-15 which is a good swap. My advice it to stick with the OEM size which the engineers who designed your car have determined to be the optimum size.
Yes as long as you keep the overall diameter the same. For instance you would replace a 185/75-15 tire with a 215/65-15 tire which would keep your overall diameter almost the same. Click the link to calculate what size tire to go with.
No, never mix tire sizes.
The tire? No way. The 16" rim will require a 16" inside diameter tire. The rim could possibly be swapped provided the bolt patterns are exactly the same.
