FC = fuel consumption. From all the information gathered in our local Fit/Jazz forum (FJC), as long as the tires are changed from the stock specs, the fuel consumption increases, thus the km/litre (miles/gallon) decreases.

The 2 new tire models I posted are pretty new. Probably just released in Japan. We are still looking forward to its availability in Singapore.

As for the speedometer errors caused by change in tire and/or rim size, currently we still do not have any workshop that's capable to do a recalibration yet. Even with everything stock, attaching a ScanGauge II would show that the stock speedometer has abt a 5km/h error from actual speed (assume the ECU readings are more accurate).
