Tires are frustrating me more than any other issue about hypermiling. I want to hypermile as best I can but not at the expense of loosing money. I think I would just go out and buy Goodyear Fuel Max tires, 185 65 14, for my 2011 Accent if I knew that they would get 2-3 mpg better than the 2 Kumho Solus and 2 Yokohama Avid tires I have on there now. Another complicating factor is that I deal with wicked winter weather here in Maine and LRR tires most likely will be dangerous to use in our heavy snow and ice. The world needs a better way to rate tires.
