I assume you also compared the revolutions per mile for both sets of tires? Even two models of the same size tire can have large discrepancy in revs per mile. Small change in revs per mile could mean and extra 2,000 revs per 400 miles. Not large numbers but it could calculate out to an extra 2+ miles per tank.
