Tyres question
Guys,
I need to buy new set of tires and I'm wondering what size I should buy
Original size is 195/60/15
Two possible options:
195/65/15
185/65/15
diameter (mm) diameter difference (mm) difference (%)
615 mm 0 mm 0 % 195/60/15
634.5 mm 19.5 mm +3.07 % 195/65/15
621.5 mm 6.5 mm +1.05 % 185/65/15
First option - taller tire so revs are going down, but car is higher and frontal area is increased
Second option - narrow tire so frontal area is smaller but revs 2% lower than with first option.
Which option in your opinion will be best for FE?
