Curious as to what happens to fuel economy. Is it less? Is it noticeable? Just wondering Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Good question. I will monitor my fuel economy again now that we will start seeing non-winter gas. My long term average is 42.1 mpg (imperial gallons) since I've owned the car. This data is from the Torque Pro app. Not sure how accurate it is, but at least I can get an idea of whether my fuel economy is getting better or deteriorating over time. I would hazard a guess that the fuel economy, if anything, would go down marginally with wider tires due to increased rolling resistance and greater friction associated with more road contact. Then again, less pounds per square inch contact might improve fuel economy. All pure supposition of course, as I am no physicist.

FYI, 17's suck the life out of acceleration and braking capability

I bet. I noticed an increase in steering wheel resistance just going from the 14" winter tires to the 15" summer tires and that's not dry steering, even when rolling. I can imagine that and larger rim, or more so a tire with a greater diameter, would have some impact on such a light car.

Also a wider tire typically is a less fuel efficient tire. But I think he mentioned that in a later post. But for me, that is why I wouldn't change the size. Maximum fuel economy (that was in my budget) is why I got the Yaris, it just turned out that its a fairly awesome car on top of that. |

So what you are saying is... for fuel economy.. . |
