Well, I had the tires installed on Friday and drove around a bit this weekend. Also filled up this morning and checked my FE. Best tank so far, 54MPG!!! I think this had a little to do with the tires, a little to do with the VX wheels, and a lot to do with the driver. Just being smarter on the road, trying to time green lights, letting the car slow on uphills and regain the speed on the downside. At lights that I just catch red and know are long I shut the car off, and I've been waiting to start the car until I am ready to get moving, rather than the first thing I do when I get in it.
If I'm consistently getting 50's before any aero mods, before loweing the car, and before my D15Z1 swap, I'm very anxious to see what happens afterwards!
As far as the tires go, they are a bit noisy at low speeds, but that seems to actually go away as speed increases. the ride quality is as good as I can expect at 40psi and 190k on the original suspensions clock. Handling is adequate, but I can really tell the difference when coasting... these tires really are LRR compared to the old bridgestones I pulled off. It is incredible how long before a red light I can go to neutral. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.
