Update: The increased tire pressure seems to be helping with rolling resistance. The tires also seem to be breaking in as well, so it's a bit of an unknown right now as to what's doing what. I'm looking forward to the next few tanks so I can see how much "breaking in" they actually do.

We are at 23 mpg so far, so I'm not too bummed. We were averaging 26 mpg with the old ones, bit they were racing slicks and didn't weigh anything. I'm pretty happy considering these are meaty off road tires. I am very impressed by how they behave. Great traction, handling, and water displacement. I hope they do as well in the winter.
