I saw a video on youtube and the guy swapped out his normal wheel/tire combo and put donuts on the rear and netted 5mpg or so.

This brings a question to mind...

How much smaller are the donuts vs the normal tires?

Currently looking for a skinny wheel/tire combo for the rear, but am also looking at building a skirt setup.

What are your thoughts on 205 LRR's all around vs 205 fronts and 155 rears?
