I haven't researched those tires but I will belatedly say that low rolling resistance tires are worth looking into. I bought some Uniroyal Tiger Paw. Very inexpensive, tough, long lasting good handling tire I've had on previous cars. But apparently low rolling resistance they are not.64chevy said:I am strongly leaning towards the Continentals as they seem to do as well as the highly-touted Michelins (at less cost) and - in some cases - rather better.
I currently sit around 5.3 m/kwH per the car.
I have been getting ~ 5.2 mi/kwh. I've heard worn out Ecopias do very well. Swap in these tires and i'm struggling to get 5 at all, more often 4.6-4.7 in the same drive with no AC, no heat, little expressway mostly slower driving with few stops.
The higher efficiency of the Ecopias had masked the degradation of the battery. I'm about to lose a bar at 29k miles. Now with these tires the lower range is quite noticeable.
