    Well, keep this in mind. Even with bigger tires (I'll admit to having slightly bigger tires on my Mirage at 175/65/14), the hit you take on the fuel economy is not very big so you are still saving money and fuel. I've only seen a couple of MPG drop and am still averaging 42-46 mpg in mixed driving.
