What tires not to get
I can tell everyone what tires you should not get if your looking to help your FE.
I put on a set of General Tire Altimax RT 's and can say with out a doubt that they do not help at all with FE.
In fact they have hurt it.
Pulling out the weeks that I did not drive to work (car pooling) my mileage has dropped to 37.6mpg. This is down from an average of nearly 40mpg!
I do have to be concerned with wet weather and snow traction, so this is the main reason for choosing these tires. And from a performance point of view they are a pretty good tire although a bit on the noisy side.
