What us your favorite tire brand?

Thanks, Stephen! I just ordered my set of 4 Michelin Defender LTX M/S 215/70r16 for my 2006 Honda Element EX-P based on your recommendation and others at Honda Element Lovers and on Reddit. Belle Tire has a special for 20% off online only (611266) purchases right now plus a $60 rebate from Michelin if you buy 4 tires. I'm converting it into a camper and looking to put about 7,000 miles on her over the next 3 months so the tires needs to be right and get good mpg. I got the installation package that includes lifetime balance, rotation, and flat repairs and all in it's $878 before the $60 rebate. Pretty good deal IMHO!

Solid deal congratulations and hope you enjoy your road trip! Thanks for sharing with everyone.

Yeah I use the 225 70 16 on mines. It doesn't give the best gas mileage although it's 99% hwy mileage, but works for me.

Thanks for this useful guide for all of us Element owners out here! Crisp, clear video...

No problem my dude! Thanks for watching

Thank you for this! I saved this one for when I have the money to get new tires for my Element, hoping that is soon. I have Toyos All Terrain on my CRV and I love them. I live off a dirt road in the foothills and they are a popular tire in the area including in the the mountain towns that I live near.

Wowoowowowo thanks am learning from you everything about my Honda element

You should do a guide on what wheels fit. I have used everything from 15" to 18" wheels, from 6 to 8" wide. (offset is the key)

Looking for more affordable tires at the moment. Any recommendations for R17 ? I just join the family with an Element EX 04

I'm running Bf Goodrich K2s ATs on my Element with the stock wheels which I painted black. Got the biggest tires that could fit without rubbing. I love the look, but now that's been a few years, I'm looking to buy new wheels as well. Does anyone know if I can put negative offset wheels, probably steel, for a more offroady look? I'd love it if the tires stuck out a bit.

How about205/55r16 bought them used and they ride quite well and quiet

Just tested on mine, 15 fits, and on 15’s the tire size 235/75/15 will be smaller than 235/75/16. This version of tire size is a percentage of width and so it will never go bigger than 75 percent of the tire width. Put it on a smaller wheel size and your tire sidewall stays the same but overall diameter is 1” less and won’t rub. By contrast, a 31x10.5 r 16 vs r 15 of same size would remain at the same diameter with the tire retaining that 31” diameter no matter the wheel size.

I believe 15” wheels will fit, I just purchased 1955 ford fairlane steel wheels, Sumitomo Encounter 235/75/15 tires and an HRG 1.5” lift kit. I believe this should be a stout setup and won’t rub. Also I plan later on adding a rear limited slip differential that should make this element almost as good as a jeep offroading.

Stock height or are you lifted? I'm torn in between 65s or 70s (on stock height). But I've seen comments where 70's rub especially on bumpy roads.

@@ysoangrisome 235 70 16’s do rub but that’s because they all have different diameters weird but true. I had Goodyear Triple Thred, excellent tire but no longer make them. They rubbed slightly on full turns. I now have Kumho’s HT51 in 235 70 16 and no rubbing. Excellent inexpensive tire.

Those car ramps are excellent. Do you know the brand?

When you talk about maximum size tires at 2:00, you're talking about stock suspension and no spacers, right?

Correct!

235-65-16. The perfect fit. No rubbing and the same diameter as the stock 215-70-16. So no speedo change. Wider track, better handling and looks great. This is the size the Element should have come stock with.

@@StephenAldaco I think you actually live by me, I’m in highland ca. We just got my best friend a 2003 and we’re doing upgrades slowly so he can do mild off-roading on a budget. So for now we’re only doing a 1.5” lift and new tires 225/75/16 Toyo open country A/T III’s since I have a tire account. Currently looking for some different wheels I’d like for him to get a better offset something like 16x8 +20 so it’ll be like running a 1” spacer since 1” is close to the equivalent 25mm. Since the stock wheels are at 16x6.5 +45 Just trying to make sure clearances would work because that specific size I’m able to get him a lot of great options.
