lucky for me my tire gave up after the trip.. so now i am wondering...

i have 195/65 r15 .. should i get a pair of the same size or go larger... i have no idea how much size of tire affect handling... only changing the front ones for now..

what do u guys advise...

If you are only getting two tires, stay with the same size. ( Besides your car would look funny )
Changing tire size will throw off your seedo and affect your gas mileage.
I don't think you will be going off road in your accord, so you don't need the added ground clearence ( sp) bigger tires would give you.

You can go wider like in 205/55/15 in all 4 tires. I thought stock ex was 195/60/15. If you can't go taller, go wider. You get more stability and you won't affect speedo that much. But as Zapman said, changing just 2 tires-should just stay the same size.

I went slightly larger side wall to fill in the gap, but I beleive it led to rubbing of the fender lining when I turn the wheel.. I really donno how much wider you can go with the same size wheels, but you can def. get some wider wheels on there .. up to 7.5 I beleive at least.
