185/60r15 on steelies VS. 175/65r14 on steelies...
Looking to replace current tires (185/60r15 on steelies). As an alternative to just replacing the tires, I'm considering getting tires/steelies from tirerack, since it's a nominal amount more for the set. The downside is they only have 14 inch steelies.
Would moving from a 185/60r15 to a 175/65r14 have any impact on fuel economy, and if so, to what extent? I realize the smaller wheels are about 3% smaller in diameter so if they improve fuel economy is it a result of the speedometer reading faster than actual travel or is it a true improvement in spite of this? |
