What Tire sizes are most cb7s running

[AAPOQ]

I agree, this is by far the most comfort for style

Remember everyone, the larger the tires, the worse the gas mileage. If I remember correctly, our cars came with 185/70/14 (steelies and hubcaps), or 195/60/15's. Also anytime you change tires from oem sizing, it will affect your speedo. To find out how much use a Tire Size Calculator

Exactly what I needed, I lost this link. Saved to favs. Ty

205/55/r15 is a perfect size for a stock CB and won't affect the speedometer at all

According to the tire calculator this might even help with speeding since the speed would read 1.8% higher than with stock

It will also mess with your odometer, for every 60 miles you travelled, your car would think you travelled 62. When I went from 185/70/14's to 195/60/15's, it caused my speedo to be about 2mph fast. So that would lead one to believe that Vehicle Speed Sensors between cb7 models are different part numbers.

They are allowed by law to be +/- 5mph from the actual speed

They have the same part number between DX and EX trims

The manual units part number is 56500-PT3-010

^^ That part number is for Power Steering Sensor Assembly...

215/45/17 +40 7"

Sidewall is flush with the wheel and wheel is flush with fender, so perfect in my opinion

However that size is tiny bit bigger than OEM, but that slows the speedo down 2mph, which is fine, because in UK (probs same in US) speedos in all cars read 3mph faster from factory on purpose so actually made mine more accurate.

look at number 9

[TracieS]

Is this Tracie? I'm stalkin you, JK. Do you you have any problems with tires rubbing?

Yea its me who are you?

And rubbing just when I turn.

look at number 9

I did, its still listed as a power steering sensor assembly. Googling has resulted in two different part numbers for our cars, when regarding the VSS.

78410-SY0-003 or 78410-SM4-003

I am trying to find the exploded system\component view on hondaautomotiveparts.com, so I can compare trim levels, but I'm not finding the right category.

Edit: I found the VSS under the category Combination Meter, but its only showing up under coupe... Part numbers between all trims for a:
90-91 2DR VSS is: 78410-SY0-003
92-93 2DR VSS is: 78410-SV4-003

Its under power steering pump since the VSS is part of the power steering system.

Your still wrong! Thats not the VSS. If I goto hondaautomotiveparts.com, and goto the combination meter section (91 2dr auto lx), I find the VSS, if then switch the category to Power Steering, #9, its a POWER STEERING SENSOR ASSEMBLY NOT A VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR!!!! The two parts look TOTALLY DIFFERENT!

#1 In this picture is the VSS:


#9 is what Tippey764 says the VSS:


How am I supposed to plug in #9?!?!?

omfg have you never worked with one before?

It is mounted atop of #9 via two 10mm nuts

How else do you think it knows how fast the car is going unless attached to something with gears? Magic?




Regardless if you want to compare the actual VSS unit ( which is obviously going to be the same since all it does is take a magnetic reading off of the gear teeth and if the units are the same then why would it be any different )

The part numbers are both 78410-SV4-003 for a 1993 DX and EX in a 5 speed manual

And 78410-SY0-003 for a 1991 DX and ex

So they changed the parts from 1991 to 1992

big deal. The parts are the same between cars with different wheels which disproves your theory

I already agreed that my theory was incorrect with my previous posts. Also I thought the speed sensor is mounted to the transmission? Does your part connect to the transmission? If it does, its interesting thats its grouped with the power steering pump. You are correct I have not worked with one directly, thats maybe why I was having issues with understanding the part, as honda themselves label it differently, and I was able to find the part that was labeled speed sensor vs something labeled as part of a power steering component. I know the power steering uses information from the vss to turn it on at low speeds, I just figured it would be a transmission part. (Speedometers's were around long before power steering)

yes that assembly goes inside the transmission. Well not all the way in, theres a 1 inch hole in the back of the transmission where most of the unit slides down inside.

The reason the power steering is coupled with it is for the variable power steering assist system

Pretty much the faster that unit spins the more pressure it lets leak by to reduce to reduce overall pressure and reduce assist at a higher RPM

On cars with electronic power steering the unit is similar but less complicated and only for the vehicle speed sensor.

You can see the hole where it goes in this picture with a rag stuffed in it
