Default Has anyone fitted RE050 tyres to 16" OEM wheels ?

I was wondering if this has been done by anyone.

What is everyone's opinion ?

I dont think anyone has done it Bharat

blackcircles.com have a nice tyre selector on their site - that will tell you if they do them in the size

I remember asking this question a few weeks back.

Can't remember who told me now but I was reliably informed that they aren't available in the correct size.

Why would you want to
My thinking was if Honda thought they were better then maybe they were....

Doesn't bother me - I've got them anyway.

Bharat,

I think you will find that like the S-02s, the REO Speedwagons are S2K specific. Even in the right size, they may not be right.

If you really wanted to try some (the RX-8 ones are criticised for cold, wet grip too!), why not get some 17" wheels 1" wider, and drop on the 04 tyres?

On second thoughts, a new set of S-02's sounds more cost effective!

My thoughts exactly - 17" OEM wheels are on my wishlist !!

Just wondered if anybody had tried the RE050 on the 16" OEM rims !
