cfg83 - you did go for a wider tire. A 195/65/15 is 10 mm wider than the stock 185/65/15 and slightly taller as you found.

What have you found in your mileage comparisons so far?

I'm wondering if the decreased deflection/ heat generation will cancel out any loss from the slightly wider tire? 10mm is less than 1/2" from sidewall to sidewall.
