Hi guys.
I have a 2010 Odyssey Lux.
Standard wheel/tire fitment is 215/55/17 94V
The car is quiet and drives well but rolls much in corners and is a bit slow on acceleration.
(yes, I know that there are other things I can do for body roll but let's leave that for now)
I want to improve cornering and around town acceleration so I'm considering going to a 50 profile tire on the same size wheels. I understand that this will drop the car's height by about 10-15mm as well.
(I need to keep the same size wheels if I want my lease to pay for tires for the next four years)
I've done the calculations and know that the speedo will read about 3 - 4km/h faster than current factory fitment.
My GPS actually shows my speedo has my car out by about 6% over actual anyway with factory fitment.
The smaller profile will balance this out nicely.
Has anyone else done this to their Odyssey?
Did it make the wheels look too small under the guards?
Would I be better to go for a 225/50/17 tire instead as a 'best of both worlds' measure?
Would be really keen to read your feedback.
Cheers.
