What is the ideal tire size for a 2003 Chevy s10 which I now have 235-55-16s and I want to drop down to a smaller footprint for better gas milage and less strain on the 4-cylinder engine?

If you want better mileage then go with a slightly larger tire but narrower footprint. A 245/60 or 255/70. You will not see much difference in mileage. By going to a larger tire the engine will turn fewer rpm's but will work harder. I would stick with the OEM size, and add 2 lbs to the tire pressure. Even that will give you very little gain. The best thing you can do to get better mileage is to drive for mileage. Take off slowly and drive the speed limit. Also replace you air filter every 30,000 miles and make sure the engine is running perfectly.
