Following the theme of staying skinny but gaining diameter, the ideal would be a 195/65-16 (25.9” diameter) but those are almost all commercial tires(8+ply), but a decent compromise would be a 205-60-16 which is 25.7” tall... I started thinking of rubber to gain lateral grip and lost sight of FE, lol

Really is like to go even taller to gain a gearing advantage but I haven’t got the room for anything over MAYBE 26” before I’d have to clearance the strut...
