The narrower 185s will give a modest aero benefit over the 195s. I have Defenders and so far like them a lot. EDIT: looks like you could get the ecopias in 175/65r15 and have almost the exact same overall diameter (maybe slightly taller), while losing a little tire weight and getting a better aero tire. That's what I would do. I have 175/70r13 tirss on my civic right now.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
