Which wheels and tyres for a Honda CR-V?
I recently bought a 2007 Honda CR-V EX 2.2iCDTi which currently has Honda ‘ONYX’ 19-inch alloy wheels fitted with SP Sport MAXX 245/45R 19 98Y low profile tyres. I would like to change these for a more conventional, comfortable and economic set of wheels and tyres. Could you please advise which would be the best?

The standard 17-inch alloy wheels with 225/65 R17 tyres, though on 18-inch alloy wheels with 225/60 R18 tyres the ride is still acceptable. You will have to inform your insurer of the modification.
