2 tire choice - (potenza re92 LRR or bridgestone ecopia?)

i did a lot of research on lrr tire to night and i have 2 choice

my tire and rims need to be change soon

the first option is the 165/65 14 potenza re92 with alloy rims and that would cost 640$ without any taxes

the last option is 175/65/15 brigdstoone ecopia with alloy rims if the 15' tire fit on my car this would cost 652$ without any taxes but it gives -7% rpm

what is the best option?

MPG=1 TIME=0

assuming the oe size is 175 65 14, there is a new lrr tire in that size. michelin defender but then because it is new, there is zero history / reviews on them.

otherwise might depend on how you drive, where i live now i'm doing plenty of stop and go, and its in traffic. so i'd want the smaller size. but if you spend most of your time in top gear, and you feel like you have power to spare, then the larger size

Your first choice is directionally toward a more unsafe condition - lower load carrying capacity - and I would recommend against it.
