As far as I'm aware, they're the lowest rolling resistance consumer tire on the road today.

yes,sidewall says P165/65R 14 78S Bridgestone Potenza RE-92s.
The car rolls at the least provocation.I've never seen anything like it.
They're worn and checked a bit and I'll replace with same thing if I can get them.It will also keep the Cd and R-R identical to OEM.
I want to do 75-mph and 80-mph testing at some point,which would be risky with the current tires.
As to braking,the front rotors on this car are warped a bit so I'm trying to baby the brakes as much as possible.Any expense I can prevent will help with the September trip.
