Payback on low rolling resistance tires?
Does anyone have any solid numbers for mileage increases from low rolling resistance tires? I've read about people seeing a 5-10% increase but how accurate is that?
Last I looked at low rolling resistance tires it didn't seem like they were much more expensive, $7-20 per tire more then the cheaper options.
So please correct me if I'm wrong, but if your average car on the road gets 25mpg and a set of low rolling resistance tires improves your mileage by just 5% then over the course of 50,000 miles on that set of tires with $3 per gallon gas you would save around $500, right?
