Best wheels/tyres for fuel economy etc..

[TheCat13]

Hi,

I have just bought a van and have 2 sets of wheels and tyres for it. The ones on it are alloys with 195/60 R15 88H (Continental). The spare ones are on metal wheels and are 175/65 R14 86T (Firestones).

Now then, is one set better than the other at road handling, economy etc... Why should I have one set over the other?

Also if I sell one set, what should I hope to get. The alloy ones are not mint and the tyres are worn. The metal ones are virtually new tyres on each rim. I have 5 of each.

Thanks in advance.

Sam

Acording to "jock" on "The garage" alloys are just for show, and they are not very good anyway.

If alloys are a "must have" sell them on an auction site, and put the normal wheels on your van, makes the van less attaractive to have its wheels nicked.
