The car is a 2006 Scion xB. I did a major seasonal tire swap from P195-65/R15s (OEM are P185-60/R15) to P205-50/R17. I've run the same size 17" tires before, but the old ones were Goodyear NCT-5 (V)s, run-flats that weighed 26 lbs each. The new ones are Cooper Zeon RS3-A all seasons weighing ~22 lbs each.
