I don't understand how you feel a power loss when your new tires are smaller.

Then don't fill you gas tank up as much to compensate. Fill it half way up and save yourself an extra 104 lbs I can't tell if olyelr is being sarcastic or not... but I still dont see that miniscule amount make a ton of difference in rolling resistance, expecially since your tire diameter is smaller which would mean more torque. Sure width may be a factor at some point in tire size... but I don't think it matters much in your case. That said, on my old mustang I went from a 185 to a 225 width tire in the rear, and 185 to 205's in the front. I couldn't tell a difference at all in power, but she definately didn't want to roast them off with the extra width and tread pattern without a little help. I jumped 2x more width in the front than you, and 4x more wide in the rear than you did, and couldn't really notice a difference. If anything it may just be you need more pedal because of your bum tran's you've been talking about.
