Hi everyone, I know this is an old thread but I've got an Aveo and I wanted to know whether alloy wheels could improve my fuel economy. I'm on 14" steel rims with 175/65R14 Michelin's - I'll need to buy new tires soon anyway so I just wondered whether replacing my wheels with 14" alloys would make any difference, or what brand of LRR tire is rated highly at present.
On the subject I read an article at caranddriver.com about how larger alloy wheels onto a VW Golf worsened fuel economy, is the opposite true? Could I fit 13" alloys onto my Aveo or would this just be stupid, hoping someone on here could tell me, thanks.
