Continental TerrainContact 265/60/18 on OEM 18s hits a sweet spot for the Passport. Very nice setup!

Those look great!
If only Honda put some thought into the OEM wheels and tires they put on our Passports!

That looks fantastic... I just ordered matte black Ridgeline 18” wheels, and was going to put 255 Nittos on, but now you’re giving me second thoughts. My 2 concerns are rubbing, and a more noticeable decrease in power & mpg.

You’re the second person I’ve seen with Conti TCs on OEM rims report no rubbing... how about the power loss, how noticeable does it feel?

It feels a tiny bit slower compared to the lighter all seasons. I got the 265s mainly for the slight lift that the taller tire provides.

From the research I've done, the stock 55 offset helps with the clearance. I believe some Ridgeline wheels are 45 offset so it might affect the clearance a tad... but I think you'll be fine.

I have been running Continental TerrainContact 265/60/18 on 2019 Ridgelines (55 offset) since last July and have 13k on them so far. Have never had any rubbing in any driving situation yet. Can't say I've noticed any power loss either. MPG has gone down 1-2 from stock, but I do believe if I was able to have the speedo re-calibrated to a 265 diameter then you would get the same stock reading.

Great... I got the 55 offset Ridgeline wheels as well, just a different design.
