[2016 Versa]

Back when I was driving an '88 Ford Escort Pony as my daily driver I've ran tires as large as 185/70/14 on it. Stock tire size was 165/80/13. After figuring the odometer correction for the larger size tires I did see an increase in mileage. I don't recall exactly how much increase it was but, it was a noticable amount. At least a couple extra MPG I'm pretty sure. At the time I lived close to a self serve junkyard (Pull-A-Part) and would often find used tires of a larger variety already mounted on wheels that were mounted, balanced and ready to bolt on. I could often buy steel wheels with tires that were still good for 25-30K miles for under $20 each. Awhile back I decided I wanted an extra steel wheel for my Versa to use as a full size spare and went to Pull-A-Part and found one with a tire that's good enough to use as a spare for under $13 including tax. The tire probably has close to 50% tread left on it. They only charged me for the wheel and gave me the tire. Newer model Nissan wheels are hard to find in this area and other local junkyards were wanting $50. for a wheel alone.
