2000 Civic

[Forest]

Howdy, just wondering on my recently purchased 2000 Civic 4 door sedan
77,000
miles, dealer put new Dunlop SP20FE P185 65R14 tires on it. They seem a bit
thin so I was wondering if the rims will take a larger/wider tire, not low
profile ones? Also, I'm assuming there is a hidden antennae with an
amplifier as the radio reception is quite good? Oh, another thing, I
noticed that it's fairly easy to spin the tires from a stop, my concern is
how this car will do in the snow? Seems fairly light.

Thanks...

P185/65R14 are OE equipment for that car. You have to observe clearance in
the wheel well if you want to go wider. Also it will penalize your fuel
economy a bit, it you care.

On the newer Civics the antenna is built into the Rear window above the
defroster.

The factory Firstones on my 2002 civic were crap in the winter. Bought 4
snow tires and now I have peace of mind. I would recommend the same as the
car is fairly light.

Good Luck

I have a 99 civic coupe and I put 195-60 r14's on with no problem. It does
change the speedo a bit, but not much. If it says I am going 100 i am
really only going about 99 (not that big of a deal). I got some BF Goodrich
Touring T/A's from Sam's club. They are H rated and were only $55 each.
on the coupes the antenna is over the passenger side door, but on the sedans
the antenna is built into the back window.
