Guys another option which works really well is a 275/45/20

The advantage to this size is that the new tire is only 1% larger in diameter but actually almost an inch taller then stock and almost 4% wider. The added side wall height creates more ground clearance and softens the ride over stock.

Plus it rolls at only 9 revolutions per mile slower than the stock fitment so you don’t kill the low end.

And if you go with an all terrain tire you can get a great off road look but not sacrificing street manners.

I’ve got Cooper Zenon LTZ’s on my Elite and love them!

I’ll post pics if anyone is interested.

It's the Honda OEM basket for the Passport. List is $450. I got it when I bought the car for $225

Those do look pretty good! Would love to see more close up and confirmation of no rubbing.
I’m also curious has dine any serious mud or snow on the stock 20s with oversized tires. In my experience ice buildup can be an issue in the winter.

Sorry for the delay. Here are the promised pictures. At a full turn lock there's about 1/2 clearance between the tire and wheel well liner.

Wow. They look great Congrats!

Thanks. I am really pleased with them. On a side note, had to do an emergency stop last night.
Guy slammed on his breaks right in front of me. Fortunately I wasn't following to closely.

The passport transfers all it's weight to the front real quick and will overload the tires and they will squeal in general even on the stock set up. With these though, I stopped really quick since there's so much rubber on the road

Do you ever fill your passport with 5 people and gear in the back?

I had put some custom wheels on my CRV that still had a 2-3 inches of clearance and they were fine when it was just me, but one time I had to put 5 people (all adult sized) In it with backpacks and a few pelican cases and with the added weight, I was hitting the wheel well.

Fortunately, it had not been too long that I had the tires and Discount Tire swapped them out for me.

No not people but about 600 lbs of audio and band equipment. No rubbing
