Going to get some Yokohama Avid's when I have the $$ sitting around.
did you pump up the psi?
on a 60 series you've got plenty of side to keep the ride soft(enough)
I would be willing to bet that at the lower speed and taller tire...you hit the sweet spot on that engine!
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION....when you pass the sweet spot the reduction in mpg is big. not gradual. And you could slow down more...but you don't wantto have to watch your review mirror the whole time!!!
