Tire size recommendation

Tire size recommendation
I have a '93 pickup 5 speed 2WD. The truck currently has 185/75/14 tires. When I enter the vehicle specs on tire sales websites, it tells me that 195/75/14 is the original size.
I'm going to order tires and I was just going to ask here for advice on which would be best. This truck's purpose is fuel economy - driving back and forth to work, so whatever size would be best for fuel mileage is what I want.
Thanks.

It has been a long time ago but I put '98 Ford Ranger rims on my 2 wheel drive. Basically I went with a larger rim and a smaller tire which leveled the height of the tire. Dont remember what tire size I went with. Being a two wheel drive, you should be able to get around 30 mpg, maybe a little more but not much. Should give you an idea of what to expect mileage wise.
Seems like the reason I went to a 15 inch rim as it was easier to find 15 inch tires then the 14 inch.
