1 to 1.5 inches smaller...

Do you know how to read tire sizes? If not:
1st number is width of tire in mm at widest point of sidewalls, not tread
2nd number is height of tire in mm as a percentage of 1st number (60 =
60%)
3rd number is diameter of rim

You probably liked old tires because they filled wheel well. If so,
don't think you'll be happy with a lower profile.
