First off, just wanted to introduce myself. This is my first post, but I have been 'lurking' and reading about things on this site for a couple weeks. I have a 1986 gas VW Jetta with nearly 400,000 miles that I consistently get 40 mpg driving around town and usually approach 50 mpg on extended highway road trips. Here is my question: I am in need of new tires, and want to purchase a set with a low rolling resistance. I can't seem to find any in my size, which is p175/70/r13. I would like to keep this same size. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also NTB seems to be having a buy 2 get 2 sale this weekend which I would love to take advantage of so I'd love to find some this weekend. Thank you very much in advance!
