Tire and wheel update after 8500 miles

I have seen no discernible difference in mpg.

Old tires and wheels were 14 steel wheels(smooth wheel covers) with 195/70 goodyear viva 2 close to the end of their life at 50 psi

New tire and wheel combo 15 aluminium(off Honda Civic Hybrid) with 195/65 LLR tires with 58 psi.

Last weekend I made a very similar trip to one I had taken with the old setup on both trips I averaged 50mpg

I dropped a little weight and went a little taller but no real gains granted I only have 8500 miles on these new 70k mile tires but still.

Positives are that I'm happy with the aesthetics over previous setup.
