eco tire? help

[billboening]

i have been thinking of getting a new set of rims and tires but i want tires that are an inch. or inch and a half biger but as skinny and light as posible to reduce the rolling weight as much as i can. it is all about fuel efficiency and most of my dring is high way and my 5 speed keeps the moter at 2.5 to 3 and i want to lower it a bit

thanks for the help

Cruze eco wheels are 17" and really light and the tires on them are designed for economy. That might be the best option for you but most of the time they want an arm and a leg for the eco wheels.

I run ECO wheels with Bridgestone Ecopias in the stock LTZ size with great results.

but the 17s are HEAVY i think like 4lbs heavier than the 15s which is equivalent to adding 48lbs of vehicle mass, not ideal for best MPGs. sounds like the OP is going after a supermilage setup. Cruze eco rims and those tires should work well

The LTZ 17's are the Cruze Eco 17's are not.

The Cruze Eco's are 17 lbs, the 15's are..... 17 lbs!
