Thanks for this insight, and the confirmation on the shocks.

So I've been spending a lot of hours reading tire scores on TireRack
(TR), where a lot of people do think the tire can influence a lot of
things.

I'd been considering switching to tires with a better score in the
ride and noise comfort areas, and maybe even upsizing the wheel /
tire combo to improve handling, wet and dry traction.

One guy at TR said they always figured about a 10% decrease in ride
comfort with every 1" increase wheel / tire size. What I don't know
is how much of a hit you take in fuel economy for going to something
like a 205/60-16 or a 215/50-17 versus the standard 205/65-15.

One problem with numbers from TR is that they are composites in
several different ways. If you look at the scores for an Avon 550
A/S, the numbers represent the tires scores across ALL sizes and for
ALL vehicles.

In most cases people are comparing same size tires on TR, but
sometimes people go to comparing the characteristics of a 15" tire to
that of a 17", without plainly explaining that they're doing it.

When you put in the data for your car, the reviews are "filtered" to
match the reviewer's vehicle, not what s/he ended up putting on there
after the original tires let go.

So one thing I'd love to know is reports from people about successful
experiences with wheels / tires for a 4Cyl '05 Accord LX. Guess I'll
need to google the group for any surveys!
