Looks like these Yokos have less rolling resistance. In my usual coasting test using speed limit signs as a guide, I come to 45 before the 45 MPH speed limit sign, then let off the gas right when I hit it, and check the speed when I reach the 35 MPH speed limit sign a little farther down. Before the ecomods, I'd slow down below 35 when I reached the sign. After some aero mods, I came to 35. Inflated the tires, 36. Removed the AC compressor and power steering, 38. Now, I'm going 39 when I reach the 35 sign.
These tires also have better on-center feel on the highway, better steering response, and much better hydroplaning resistance compared to my old tires. I haven't gotten much rain since I got these on, but there was some water on the roads on the drive home today. I brought it up to 65 and tried going through puddles, and it still felt all there. I'm quite happy with them.
