195/55 slowed my car down

feels like someone is sitting in the passenger seat now, if y'all know what I mean...
I looked it up, and these new tires do not weight very much (17lbs from tirerack), however I do think that the tires that get stocked for new yaris' aren't necessarily the same exact as what tire resellers get. let me explain...

I looked on bridgestone's site and the tire weight of re92's for 185/60/15 is 17lbs for yaris, and 205/55/15 (celica) is 15 lbs (http://www.bridgestonetire.com/tires...x?Product_ID=8 ) ...tirerack(which I contemplated being incorrect) went with generic sizes and not car specific, but the same tires pull up 18lbs and 19 lbs (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.j...e1=yes&place=2)...

so I emailed bridgestone to figure this out: "the tire weights for re92's seems inaccurate. 205/55/15 is 15 lbs, while 195/55/15 is 19...also these are all whole numbers, if the actual weight was expressed as say 15.9, that would be beneficial as that is much closer to 16 lbs worth of tire and worth noting."

reply: "The Potenza RE92 is an original equipment tire. Therefore, the specs are set according to the vehicle and vehicle manufacturer specs. So, you could possibly have the same size tire with very different or slightly different specs and/or weights."

so it becomes apparent that the light tire is sold as oem, but it may be impossible to actually get that same tire again...

but I guess this misinformation isn't new, b/c general's site claims my tires are 16lbs a pop (http://www.generaltire.com/tires/T1/...m-UHP)...which somehow i doubt from the feeling of things

-just thought I'd vent this one out :D
