I agree. Thanks for your advice! I should see some difference as all 4 out of 5 tires on my car are of a different make.

Now to decide whether to keep the Michelin Energy Saver tire I've still got on the car or replace it with the EcoContacts, as the Energy Saver sidewall max pressure is only 44 PSI. That is, assuming the EcoContacts has a sidewall max pressure of 51 PSI
