I think the thing to keep in mind regarding tires is that I am *not* doing the Dub thing. I consider the Dub thing to be an aesthetic choice that consciously sacrifices safety/engineering for the sake of style. By going "one size up" on my tires, I think I am pushing one design parameter in my car "by one notch". I don't consider this to be a drastic change.

I also advocate the slight tire size change. I found it actually helped my FE (a 2% circumference change actually seemed to help my FE by about 2%, though YMMV, of course), without noticeably hurting performance.
To threadjack further:
I Just found out that the taller ninth-gen Corolla 5th gear (from the five-speed) fit the xA/xB. When I some day have to replace my clutch, I may do this. The limited clearance under the hood may prevent use of a puller to get the gears off, apparently.
