195/60-15 Tires, premium and MPG

[IllusionX]

Eagle LS came with 08 and 09's.
05-07 had bridgestone RE92.

btw, when the tire states max PSI, it means max PSI when warm.

henryG.: If you wanted 55 profile tires, you should go with 205/55R15 instead of 195/55R15. I drive 195/60R15 in the winter and 195/55R15 in the summer. I wish i had 205's instead.

That is incorrect. All tire pressure metrics are rated and measured when the tire is cold (<= 70F) for consistency. This is why it is always recommended that you check and adjust tire pressure first thing in the morning.

Heat expansion is calculated into the "cold" numbers.
