So the tyres you got seems to have compensated for the heavier, wider rims -even when new.
The old tires only went about 2500km, and the best fill up was their last fill up with about a 3mpg difference, I'm pretty confident that the new tires will be able to beat that when the conditions allow. We are in the middle of a record 30-37 Celcious heat wave and a few days I've seen 60C intake temp with over 70 one day. My ignition advance has taken a huge hit and my AC is being used a lot.
