Prior to reading capri racers conclusion that wider and taller tires will improve FE, I was planning on mounting a set of 15x4 alloy rims with 165/80-15 VW Beetle tires in the efforts of getting the ultimate FE tire/wheel combination for my 'stang.
hmm... i think i have an opportunity to do an ABA test of the effects of larger tires on my mustang ragtop.
I have another mustang with the same exact 14" polycast wheels as whats on the white rag now, except the tires mounted on it are 215/70-14 radials instead of the 195/75-14 tires i am using now.
I'll weigh the both wheel/tire combos and then do my 92.6 mile FE run back to back and see if the 215's will yield better FE numbers.
