Is the rpm at 60mph lower or higher with the 15s?
were the 17' 45s and the 15's 70s?
I stated all of the tire sizes for myself and the OP.

The 17s were either 45 series or 50 series. Both sizes were tested. The 15s are a 65 series. Revs/mile were also listed.

RPM is too difficult to monitor because of the power split device and how it regulates RPM.

Speedometer and odometer effects were monitored, however.
