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. |
The size they tested is greenx rated.
What size are you running? I have them in a 215/45/17 so the mpg is not great but they are very quiet, ride great and handle very well for a touring tire. I have to push them pretty hard before I hear any complaints and I have a few suspension upgrades so this car is no tuna boat. lol
Keep us posted on your experience with them. I don't know anyone else that has them to compare notes with.
