FWIW, I agree 100% with their comments about "tread depth" affecting FE, because (and many people still don't realize this) old, bald tires have lower rolling resistance (Crr) than brand new tires do, and it's predominately due the difference in tread depth--the more rubber there is to flex, the more energy it consumes in flexing it.
