One more point!

Vehicle designers are now going to smaller tires for improved mileage.

According to "experts" smaller tires accelerate easier using less energy.  Smaller tires have lass contact patch on the road so less rolling resistance.

Apparently even at cruising speeds the rolling resistance and the acceleration deceleration make the smaller tires are more efficient.


Therefore better mileage for smaller tires.

The only thing about contact patch is with Swampers, aired up to normal road pressure they have less contact area than 215 all terrains due to the interlocking center tread design...
