Anyone tried Firestone Champion Fuel Fighter tires?

My new-to-me Mirage came basically with drag slicks. So, I'm looking into tire options. Fortunately and unfortunately, it has an odd tire size (along with the Honda Insight) of 165/65 R14. This means I could mount RE92s on it, but they're also pretty pricey.

So, I'm looking at replacing them with the Firestone Champion Fuel Fighter in 185/60 R14s instead. This would give me a bit more grip and hopefully maintain most of the LRR goodness.

TireRack has a test of them here:

But, I'm hoping someone here with a more fuel efficient mindset can shed some light on these tires. Thanks!
