Here's a 185/80/14 on a Scorpius (14") alongside a 195/60/15 on a Virgo (15"). As you can see, the Virgo pairing is smaller in diameter than the Scorpius pair. Car is much more lively on the Virgos due to the lower gearing. With the Scorpius I was having to drop to second gear on a local hill which the car romps up on the Virgos in third. Scorpius did cruise well but they were shod with very budget tyres so no fun in the wet.
I will go to 195/65/15 on the Virgos if I ever wear these Dunlop's out.
