For a few months i've been wanting to get new wheels. I know that the ones i have now are robbing my fuel economy. The tires are 205/50/17 with a 17x7.5 rim. I always thought they were lighter, but in actuality, they are the same weight as my winter wheels
.
I know that winter's fast approaching, but can't wait any longer. Found a decent set of 15x6 steel rims for relatively cheap that i could buy. Of course, i would be looking for skinnier tires. The car originally came with 195/65/15. I have 2 choices, stay with that size or get 185/65/15.
The only problem that i see with the 185/65/15's is that they would throw off the speedometer by about 2%, which means if the speedo says 60 MPH, would really be going 58.8 MPH.
What tire size would u guys go with?
