The 14" tires will be cheaper than 15" but you will have to get a second set of rims. I think 2 sets of tires and rims is a good idea but buying the extra rims will probably cost more than just going with 15's. All depends on how much you can/want to spend.

Correct. Forgot to mention that I was looking at getting a second set of rims regardless of if I get 14" or 15" tires (with the rims sized to match the tires). I'm just wondering if the 14" tires will put my speedometer/odometer out of calibration at little bit?

No, you can get a 14" tire that matches the height of your 15's.

For some reason that was what happened to us. Potenza tires on steel rims. got Graspic DS 2's and they are 14 ".
My tires are now spinning 3.3% faster. So When it says I am going 60, I am actually going about 55.5 mph.
Checked it with A GPS. so am looking forward to driving 55 when I am going 55.
But they kick arse on the slush, snow and ice, and with the extra deep treads, soften the ride nicely.
