LE = 265/65-17
I read somewhere that the NISMO tire is the equivilent to a 32x10.5-16, so it's probably the tallest tire in the bunch, it also comes stock with a lower ratio rear end. I'm guessing that if you ran the three models side by side at 60 mph, the NISMO would probably be turing the most RPMs and the LE the least. This would explain (with the exception of those with the manual transmission) why the LE see the best MPG and the NISMO sees the worse, especially in the 4X4 models.
