ok, question
got the new tires put on Monday, and while its only been a couple of days, Im wondering now if Falken ZE912's could be considered an LRR tire design ?
since putting the new tires on, my avg has gone up close to 2mpg on the same route and habits I take on a daily basis.
previously, my avg was 29-30 to take my wife to work and come home after (10 mile round trip). now my avg has been hovering around 31-32, same route, same time of day and using the same driving habits Ive been using these past few months.
I have a hard time believing just going with a 205 vs the 215's that were on my car before would have this much affect ?
or is it a combination of things ?
