I'm wondering how much negative effect on mileage the bigger tires may be creating? They're inflated at factory recommendation.
I drive a friend's '07 standard Prius quite a bit. It has 20k miles, glides easily, often has 2 passengers and mine only 1, and routinely gets 44-45 mpg.
I'd like to find a way to improve my mileage. Help?

Simple, trade me your wheels and tires. The 15's are lighter anyway. |
