Andrew, The standard 1600 165R13 tyre does 886 revs per mile, a 195/50x15 does 918 rpm (+4% which is the same as a diff ratio change i.e. 3.7 to 3.9) and a 195/55x15 does 886. The Bridgestone USA site has a tyre selector by size which is very useful.

But didnt someone say that a 195/55/15 is actually the closest to the standard 1600 tyre diameter? I am confused as to which I should get - can anyone offer any advice?
