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.
