One: Are there tires that can make this car a 4-wheel supermoto?

Two: what armament can I mount on this, assuming I remove the spare wheel?

It uses a 235/75r15, on tire rack the more “sporty” tire you can get is a Standard Touring All-Season.

1: Performance all seasons or summers, I presume.

2: Probably an M2HB if you can weld up some damn solid brackets.

It would probably be easier just to throw on 17s with 235/40R17 summers, and then get Hondata to tweak the ECU so the wheel speed sensors aren’t off.

For question 2 a Christmas tree could probably be mounted to the bolts. Someone please photoshop this for me.

I think 17's looks too like too much on it, 16" be a good compromise.

The trouble would be finding a profile that’s “close enough,” but I could see 16s working if you tried hard enough.

If running off road pit some gravel/rally tires on it, if you encounter normal roads, winter tires.

Maybe some sort of ATV wheel could be mounted (adapter?) to use small radius rounded slicks...

You can just order it with 18"(?) with road tires, is that close enough to a 4-wheel supermoto?

That’s too heavy.
