Im looking for better tire appearance as well but dont want to lose out too much on the overall efficiency (gas, speed, tow, etc). Im currently looking for the best tire ranges as well. 05/22/11
Wider tires

Actually you will have a higher fuel consumtion with wider tires since you will have a higher rolling resistance.
That is one of the things you learn in mechanic school oversees. Here is a link to verify.

I remember when I was learning in 86 and the Citroen AX came out. Now everybody is trying to match what the french did 25 years ago with a simple diesel engine. The AX got 87mpg and it was not a hybrid!
If you would like a peek?

Another question that I forgot to ask you. Is there another tire size that you would reccomend trying to fulfill my criteria?
