I have 225/60-15's on now, but I'd recommend sticking with ther stock size at 205/65-15. I lost some handling performance with the size change, but picked up a little bad weather traction.

On my Yokohama 215/65-15's I held 0.9 g's and hit 0.95 g's (skidpad g forces by Escort G-Timer 2)
On my Nan Kang 225/60-15's I've only gotten to 0.8 g's.

4cyl or 6cyl?

4cyl = 195/65/15

Some 6cyls' came with 16" alloys I believe. Not sure on that tire size. BFGoodrich Traction T/A's are good all around all season tires. They'll be my next set for my 15's.

I've seen a few of them that do really well.... In fact if I rember right there was a 92 that took nationals in it's class a number of years back... The CRX is more commonly used for auto x but the accord works great if it's setup right. I've never auto X'd my accord but I've seen them run and I've driven a focus and civic (STS class if I remember right...) and they both did fairly well.

Go to youtube and search for Syclone autoX. He was a member of another accord forum and autoX his accord regularly in STS.

I currently own Traction T/A's and they are noisy! Although, I have had them for almost a year and half with about 35,000 miles on them. Probably not going to drive much.
