I've seen about a 10% improvement in fuel economy, but that is in comparison to a high-performance summer tire. Of course, that mileage might improve once the tires finish breaking in. The dry traction is, obviously, a downgrade, but they seem to handle well enough. Still, I know that I can induce a power slide on demand... maybe not a good thing.
I'll have to do a follow up when I have more information. Winter is around the corner, so I'm sure to see some wet (and possibly snowy) conditions soon. I also have a few long highway trips to make, plus my freeway driving should be increasing in frequency.
