Ryland -
Ok, I understand. It's a 2.33% change in readings on your odometer, so at least it's not toooo radical. On the other hand, while I like tirerack for comparing, it doesn't have tires like Nokian.
I am pretty sure that the OEM tire for the SL1 is a Goodyear Integrity :
Goodyear Integrity - $62
Quote:
The Goodyear Integrity has become a popular Passenger All-Season tire as the result of being chosen as an Original Equipment fitment on numerous family coupes, sedans, minivans and crossover vehicles. Integrity radials blend low rolling resistance tread compounds and internal constructions tuned to enhance vehicle fuel efficiency with year-round traction, even in occasional light snow.
Integrity tires mold an all-season tread rubber compound into a symmetric tread design that combines a continuous center rib to provide constant rubber-to-road contact and increase dry road traction as well as reduce noise. Independent shoulder blocks, circumferential grooves and siped intermediate tread blocks promote foul weather traction. The tire's internal structure includes twin, high-tensile steel belts on top of a polyester cord body to enhance reliability and ride.

These don't have the LRR tag (other sizes of this tire do qualify for LRR), but the OEM tires are usually picked for good MPG in order to raise the CAFE fleet average MPG.
The reviews aren't great though, 5.19 out of 10 for 1000+ reviews.
