When I went from 175/65R14 on my insight to 165/65R14 potentza Re92's I gained 8mpg in my insight. From 55 to 63 on average, sometimes more. So I roughly gained 15%.
i found them but no1 that stocks them yet. i also found this tyre 175/65R14 BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA 200 82H . will read into it. i currently have falken tyres on bt the are poor quality. i want to change just the front for now.
