      195/50r15 would be my choice.. your revolution per mile math does not work.. the car still travels the same distance, using you math bigger tires shrinks the size of the planet..

      The car travels the same distance but the larger surface area of the increased circumference results in less revolutions. For dramatic effect: Picture a car riding on 1" diameter wheels compared to a car riding on 10ft diameter wheels. Both travel for 1 mile - which tire do you think used up more tread?
