    Hello MetroMPG, They seem to roll the same but I have lost about 1.7 mpg and this car is no comparison to the 2002 insight I have.I run 40psi in these tires and the insight RE92s I run 45psi, both cars are automatic transmission and my through em in neutral test on the hill by my house is how I compare them. Even on the ensaves I noticed no coasting difference.

    Is the circumference the same? If not, that could throw off the odometer & MPG gauge a bit.

    +0.9%. I think 175/55R15 is used on G4 sedan too.

    EDIT: for comparison 185/60R14 is +1.3%

    I remember something like .23% 195/50 15 is almost the same. I took a 1.7 mpg hit and braking is noticeabley worse. I will gps it this weekend and post my findings.

    The new setup is 195/50/15? Looks good. Not sure why those wheels look smaller than mine, but we are rocking the same tires.

    Thanks Ares, the tires are 175/55r15, I just hope they last about 35k.
