    ///// TDI economy Challenge : 60 MPG at 60 MPH /////

    That’s good info on the tire diameter. The taller final drive ratio is what I was aiming at for my reasoning behind taller tires working better. Looks like the OP already bought his set so he won’t need to worry about that.

    2006 Jetta TDI 5-speed driving to Florida this weekend.
