How will 195/50 R15 tires effect odo, speedo, tach, etc?
Just hoping that someone could help me out with this.

I picked up some used rims and tires (195/50 R15) and I've mounted them on my 2005 Civic Coupe (stock honda tire is 195/60 R15).

I was wondering what the effect will be on. . .
odometer
speedometer
tachometer

and anything else

thanks in advance

Your overall diameter went from 24.21" to 22.68". Your lost 1.53" in total tire diameter. Theoritically, you should "gain" some KM from smaller wheel diameter. But it is minimal.

195/55/R15 would be the correct size for your application..
