Some of their customers aren't the brightest:
"If your "innovation" doesn't translate to noticeable improvement in mpg in the real world, then you should expect low ratings. Unfortunately, I don't see an mpg rating in the survey. I was getting about 37mpg with the old worn out tires and now average 35. I like the tires well enough--but I would not recommend the tires to anyone expecting increased mpg."
Most of us on here already know you are going to get better milage with warn out tires. The rubber hardens over time, they weigh less and have better aero due to lack of tread.
Another person claims they wore out a set on a mini van in under 30k miles. My guess is they did not get an alignment when they bought their tires and/or they need new shocks.
The pair that have been on the back of the hyundai have over 7k miles, have at least 90% tread and still look brand new.
