I put narrower tires on my Jeep Liberty - went from 225/75/16 to 215/85/16. Now I can run 55psi and the handling is no different; it sucked before and it still sucks.
And I have no idea if the mileage changed. If it did, the city certainly went down due to the increased tire weight although I can still get 30mpg on the highway.
