I'm following this discussion closely, and it seems that the long and the short of it is that tire weights less than rim. (In other words, all other things held constant, a 17" tire and rim combo is going to be heavier than a 16" tire and rim combo and lighter than an 18" tire and rim combo).
So if you're optimizing for weight savings and fuel efficiency, you actually want to downsize to a 16" rim and higher profile tire.
Is this correct?
