I comparing the Michelin Energy Saver with the Good Year Fuel Max and the General Tire Altimax.

I'm leaning towards the Michelins -- they are lower revs per mile (larger diameter) and they weigh the same (17 pounds). This seems to be the lightest for the 185 width 15" diameter tires. The Michelin tread wear rating is lower. than the Goodyear's, but similar to the General's.

The General's have higher sidewall max pressure, and better wet traction, and they cost (a lot) less.

Hmmm.
