Thumbs up LRR's

Hello, I hope I'm not to late to chime in one this thread. I was reading the post where the person asked where he could find LRR's in his tire size of P175/70/13 and it looks like most of the post say he won't be able to find them. Again, I just wanted to chime in, I have a 1994 Nissan Sentra, I'm the original owner and I too get 40mpg on the highway, this has been a excellent car. I just wanted to say, I'm looking at the new Michelin Tires I purchased this year at Sears, and they are 175/70/13 and they are low rolling resistance tires. I was turned on to these types of tires years ago by a Big O tire dealership in the town I live in, and I have to admit I was very skeptical, but WOW did they make a difference. The problem is, those tires to me seem to only come in the Michelin family, and they are quit expensive (around $70 ea.)I'm looking at my Michelin's I just bought this year from Sears, they are called Weatherwise, the Michelin's from Big O are Harmony, and the folks at Big O told me Sears gets a special tires made for them from Michelin, kind of a down graded tire (or so the folks at Big O told me), you can supposedly only get weatherwise from Sears.

I just want to add to this thread, that yes, you can get the Low Rolling Resistance tires in the P175 x 70 x 13 from Michelin, from almost any tire shop, and yes they are expensive but well worth it. My problem with those tires, because they last so long, I always wear out the tire not the tread, they actually dry rot. Any question, you folk can reply, I'll get the post.

Thanks
