ok, in a 'larger' tire.
But the poster is DOWNSIZING. By more than 1" in tread width. And dropping at least 9 lbs (tires only....dont know about the rim)
Given the 2 dramatic decreases, a slight ballooning is not going to be of any significance.Size........205/55R16........195/65/15
Weight.................. 28 lbs...........20lbs
section Width...............8.4 ..........8.1
Tread Width................ 7.5................6.1
overall Diam..................25.1..............25
Revs Per......................837.................832
My point was that IF he got lower mpg, he would wrongly assume it was from 'ballooning".
or have i missed something...
