    I would go with 195/65 R15? Slightly bigger diameter and should bring your speed OD in line. 60 series are wider and less diameter than OME and do not roll as well as 65 series. Lower FE. and more noise. Hal

    over the past year, I would say there is a slight decrease in reported MPG likely attributed to the change in size but not a real decrease in actual MPG. The tires are great in the rain, some road noise but I can't remember if the old tires were as noisy or not.
    Tires are decent in light snow, better than OEM, but still not legitimate snow tires.
