This is what you want to consider. If you want look, IMO 16" is better but for performance, 15" are usually lighter (better performance because less inertia) and will offer better ride confort because of the higher side wall.

However, you also need to keep in mind that lower profile tyres give better efficiency due to reduced rolling resistance.

How do you figure that? Rolling resistance is rubber compound, tread pattern, and contact patch.
