Peter,
I agree whole heartedly as I posted early on in this thread.
If you are building an 'eco-mobile' and are going all uot....by almeans go for the skinny tire.
But, and I am sure most will agree who have any type of hwy miles, you have to balance the vehicle you have with the 'eco-mods' available.
There is a certain amount of symetry and balance engineered into most cars. when you go too far outside the perameters of the car (the truck tire discussion is a perfect example) you are going to be disapointed in the vehicle ....regardless of the new mileage.
always remember on tires/wheels.....each extra unit of wieght(lbs, etc) is mulitpled times 4 as moving mass and how that plays on the existing suspinsion.
