I need some new tires for my Fit, and want to get some low rolling resistance tires. LRR tires are very limited at the stock size of 195/55/15 (892 revs per mile) and anyways I have heard people say it that car may benefit from lower rpms at speed, so maybe I should go a little bigger. The options are 195/60 (859rpm), 195/65 (832rpm) and others. Any suggestions? Also any tire model recommendations?

Thanks,

Most "car" vehicles have enough clearance to go up one bump(.05) in height or about 10 mm in radius for you.. I kinda doubt you would have the clearance to go up 2 "bumps" to the 195/65 .It would be almost 40 mm taller- or 20mm closer to "hitting" something.

Does it look like you have almost an inch of clearance at full compression?
