I don’t see an issue with 20’s other than them putting crappy branded tires on it from factory like most new cars. My ‘17 CRV tires only lasted 23k.

Also, The Pilot Touring/Elite has 20’s too.

The look of the Passport would suffer if 18’s were put on I feel. Let’s see how it rides first too.

Honda got back to me today after I submitted a question on the website (first post on this thread). Response pretty much as expected:

"Thank you for allowing Honda Automobile Customer Service the opportunity of responding to your message. Unfortunately, the 2019 Honda Passport will come standard with 20-inch alloy wheels and tires on all trims. This information is available at www.hondanews.com. We are sorry to hear that this may affect your decision to purchase a Honda passport. Thank you for contacting us and have a great rest of your day.

Kind regards,
Honda Automobile Customer Service"

I find it amusing that amusing that Honda itself states "Unfortunately, the 2019 Honda Passport will come standard with 20-inch alloy wheels."

Unfortunately, meaning to your dismay

Yep, just went on tirerack.com and according to them, the Continental Crosscontact LX SPORT is the stock tire.

What a POS tire! 480 treadwear. Why does Honda use these shitty tires all the time? You’d be lucky to get 20k on them.

And if they really want to generate some excitement, they should allow dealers to offer all-terrain tires on 18" black alloys without charging an exorbitant dealer markup for the tires and installation.

? I’m sorry, that’s hilarious. We’ll never ever see this in our lifetime.
