I currently have the same tires as the Smart-4-two car on my 71 Sonett, which are the Continental Conti EcoContact EP 175/55/R15 77T (tire diameter is about 22.6” as compared to the stock 155/15 stock tire 26.0”). Ride height is reduced fender to tire clearance is increased. Looks good, speed bumps are now mountains and the final ratio is lowered (higher RPM at same speed). Quite a change in height/ final ratio when compared side by side with the taller 165/15, 175/65, 185/65 and 195/60's. As I am mostly driving around town and not driving on a freeway I like them. Pros and cons with every choice.
