Hi there, i may be late to answer but anyway for Q1 youre better off asking a tyre shop to get your answer. They can help you more than we could. As for Q2, different manufacturers have different recommendations. Just stick to what honda says when to change the timing belt.

Yer i got a 1999 CRV. Im running 16's And tire size i use is 215/65/16. For only road use just get a pessenger tire. I my self will be getting Yokohama HT-s next . As i love my sand driving.

Also king springs also make rasie and lowering springs. Ill be jacking mine up so my resonator stops collecting sand and grass!
