No, I ended up with 215-70-15 tires, slightly taller. I got 3 for $5/each and 2 more for free, so I can do all 4 and the spare (since with these old beat-up tires I better be prepared to change them...

Yeah, my car is geared very short. In fact, for 2009 they changed the final drive, probably because of complaints from people like me. I'm sure that taller tires will help but I'm not sure how much....
