Another angle on this is that the taller sidewall tyres - that is the 80
aspect ration tyres - will deform more on cornering and will also
generally have a greater rolling resistance. This reduces acceleration,
increases fuel consumption and gives poorer handling on twisty roads.
Generally all bad points. They do, however give a slightly softer ride.

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile
155/80-13 4.9in 11.4in 22.8in 71.5in 886
175/70-13 4.8in 11.3in 22.6in 71.1in 891
This is from a chart/calculator a lister sent me to check tire sizes.
Seems to me the 175/70s are a tad thinner and shorter than 155s.
But I do have 175s on the 58 and they sure look wider than 155s.
