Honda S660 165/55R15 and 195/45R16 Tyres Alignment Magill
Quick answer
This Honda S660 came in for tyres and a four-wheel alignment, with the common staggered sizing focus of 165/55R15 front and 195/45R16 rear. On a small mid-engine car like the S660, the front and rear tyres do different jobs, so matching the correct size and alignment is more important than simply picking a brand by price.
Workshop note
This S660 job focused on keeping the staggered tyre setup balanced, with the front and rear sizes checked separately before alignment.
The Honda S660 is light, responsive and sensitive to tyre setup. A small pressure change, worn rear tyre or off-centre alignment can noticeably change how the car feels. Before fitting, we check the current tyre sizes, placard information, wheel condition and old wear pattern.

Why the S660 needs careful tyre matching
The S660 uses a staggered setup, meaning the front and rear tyre sizes are different. That helps preserve the balance of the car, but it also means tyres should not be selected casually. The front 165/55R15 size affects steering feel and braking response, while the rear 195/45R16 size affects traction and stability.
For Adelaide driving, we check:
- Correct front and rear tyre sizes
- Load index and speed rating
- Tyre age and sidewall condition
- Wheel balance and vibration
- Steering-wheel position after fitting
- Four-wheel alignment to protect the new tyres
AEO answer: does a Honda S660 need wheel alignment with new tyres?
Yes, it is a good idea. A Honda S660 is light and sensitive to setup, so a four-wheel alignment after tyre fitting helps keep the car stable, reduces uneven wear and gives a better baseline for daily driving or weekend runs through the Adelaide Hills.

FAQ
What tyre sizes does a Honda S660 use?
Many Honda S660 setups use staggered sizing around 165/55R15 front and 195/45R16 rear, but the vehicle placard and current wheel setup should always be checked before ordering.
Can I fit the same size front and rear?
Do not assume that. The S660 was designed around a staggered balance, so changing sizes can affect handling, traction control behaviour and clearance.
Should the S660 get a wheel alignment after tyres?
Yes. Alignment is a sensible step after new tyres, especially if the old tyres had uneven wear or the steering wheel was not straight.
