What's the rolling diameter of the stock 14" tire?

If you seriously improve the aerodynamics of the car, one of the side effects is that you'll need to revise the axle ratio, most easily done by oversizing the tire. If your target diameter turns out to be 28" then you qualify for 30% less rolling resistance:

Compare the BMW i3 bolt diameter to you car's. Fitting 19" wheels is the trick. The whole 16-page thread is here:

I honestly have no idea about my stock tire stats. Like I've said in other posts, I don't know anything about cars, aerodynamics, or pretty much anything else when it comes to cars. I'll have to review that thread. Thanks for the link and information.

Personally though, I feel my car performs much better in snow/rain/dry conditions than it did with the poker chips it came with stock. But maybe that's the placebo effect, mind over matter. Also, I got these wheels well before I was even aware of ecomodding a car, or maximizing MPG
