Try 165/70. Generally, narrower and taller versions of the same tire are considered better for fuel economy on this site. Some will disagree. Michelins are good. Bridgestones are good. I don't know of any completely current tests comparing LRR tires. I have Michelin Defenders on my car and love them, but the "Defender" name is probably not available in Spain.

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.
