By the way 1.5, is there a benefit of a thin tire for fuel economy? i know it helps the car to grip and corner better..i think?? And thanks why? i will get a rim i can afford lol even if it takes time to save up. :D
A thinner tire would provide less grip/friction than the same tire in a wider size and because there is less friction, less torque is required to move it against the ground.

Also keep the tire inflated to a high pressure to help fuel economy.
