    Hello! I was wondering if you guys could help me. Would 215 60r15 fit on the 15in rim well without any real cost to mpg? There are a pair of brand new mastercraft MC-440 for $250 for a set. If not, then I am getting cooper cs5 grand tourings. Are either of those good tires?

    For MPG, you want the smallest width, smallest diameter Low Rolling Resistance tire you can get and still support the weight of the car.

    For gen 2, that tends to be a 185 65 15. Here is a list by TireRack of all season LLR tires for Gen 2.

    Downsizing will improve MPG....increase in width of tire also increase hight of tire ....
