Most of the spec charts list the rotations per mile for each size of tire. To the extent that these are accurate, they are the single easiest way to compare tires of different sizes. In the case of the original poster, the Goodyears are rates at 848 rot./mile, the Bridgestones are rated at 853 rot./mile. Which brings us to the same conclusion through yet another method that the difference is negligible :-)

I have also used the rotations per mile to help me choose tires that will correct speedometer/odometer errors. In my experience, a few less rotations per mile than stock tends to make the gauges more accurate, but GPS makes it pretty easy to do the math.
