Which was perfectly fine for me, I just took it easy when it was raining and enjoyed the excellent fuel economy.
Yeah, I have already noticed that my new Kuhmo tires are much quieter than my Ecopias. Will be interesting to compare what my mileage is once it warms up.

Wife and I had a baby so haven't been doing quite as much driving as we used to.
