Question for those who have these tires: How has your fuel economy been effected? I also notice the PSI goes up to 51 in these which is helpful; The tires I have on the Caprice currently are rated for 35 max and since they're old I don't want to go much higher than that.

I've still been thinking of buying the P205/65R15s, And some of the reviews say they went bald earlier than the warranty covers. Well if they do and I buy them it's not a worry, Is it? I can just use the warranty as long as they're bald before I reach 65k or 75k miles at five years.
