Interestingly, although the bigger tyres will reduce the revs at a given speed, when I fitted them to my 280, it actually increased the fuel consumption slightly, probably due to it being slightly over geared, and needing more gear changes around town
Yep, 195/70/15 on my T300 Mk7. I know that 'cos I've just had to shell out on four new tyres last week.
