Never worried about energy saver tires, but got used tires, 15 inch wheels, & switched our 195x65x15 inch tires from our Elantra to our 2008 Hyundai Accent front, which originated with 175x65x14 inch wheels/tires. Found some 195x60x15 tires & they are on the Accent rear. Last summer, the EPA-rated highway 32MPG Accent got 18 tanks of gas in row, that were 40+MPG(no MPG computer). Our previous high tank in 10+ years was 45MPG. Our highest tanks in the 18 straight tanks, was 45, 47+ & 48+MPG.
On the Elantra got used 17 inch wheels with 225x55x17 inch tires, & 18 inch used wheels with 225x45x18 inch tires. The Elantra has a 6speed tranny, & 60 MPH rpms dropped from 2030 to 1900. With the much wider tires, I note no overall MPG loss. Under slower driving conditions, MPG went up.
