i run my Geo tires at 50 psi and they wear just fine. Tomorrow I'm installing a small lift to the suspension and raising it to clear my new 15" rims and tires so i can turn my 5 gear into a 6 th gear. I did this a few years back and it really helped on mileage but i actually never wrote the numbers down. This weekend I'm driving 1200 miles from Washington to Montana and back with two and three people on board so will see how it goes. I'll post my numbers. I'm hoping to really use the heck out of my kill switch on the down hill runs. I'll also measure the tire heights and post them as well. I have log book now on my first 10,000 miles on this restored and modified 94 metro.
FYI just bought a tracker 1994 4wd gets 28 mpg at 60 mph with just me in it. and over 300 miles it averaged 25.49 towing my geo metro behind it on a tow bar. it turns 3500 rpm at 60mph. it has 205 70 15 on it and tomorrow i'm switching it to 235 75 15 to lower the rpm and recheck the gas mileage. I'll post some reports. its the 1.6 8 valve motor if any one wants to know in a manual and the geo car is a 3cyl 5 speed.
