Ofcourse you lose traction/stopping ability, though. I think a bigger question is what is a better choice: a wider LRR tire or a skinnier normal tire?

Good work, though.

If pressure is a factor ... was the pressure checked / set equal in all tires? This may be one reason the "skinnies" showed better MPG - they're rated at 60 psi. Did they have more than the street tires ?? -CHEM.
