that said, i ran 205-55-15 all last summer vs my 175-65-14 stock stuff and i personally think the speedometer was more accurate. @ 120kph, 3.4% can be the difference between getting pulled over or not getting pulled over...

I'd rather have the 14s' than the 15s' . The smaller / thinner tires do better in rain and snow . Plus give little better mileage . The '92 Ford FESTIVA with four 12" studded snow tires would go through or up snow coverd roads / streets with ease .

big tires keep RPM's low at highway speeds... I run 15's... would be tempted to go with 16's if I ever bought wheels. Most of my miles are put on at speeds above 40mph.
About 1/3 of my miles are done on 1000 miles trips at 70mph every third month. even my drive to work is half 40+ mph, and half 20-35mph. |

Usually the diameter of the tire is the same on the 14 and 15" Yaris wheels. The difference is that the tire on the smaller rim has a taller sidewall that absorbs more road shock and softens the ride a bit. It also reduces the cars cornering ability somewhat.
