Did you ever confirm the rolling resistance with a "coast down" test, or other type of measurement?
I was looking at the specs for those tires, and they have a C-rating, which means 7,8 < RRC < 9,0. I'm considering buying them for a Renault Clio -97 which currently has 155/80-13-tires. But I'm not sure which figures to trust - 6.3 (A-rating) or C-rating?
I haven't found an A-rated tire which will fit my car so far. I've had the idea of buying the wheels from a Zoe (Michelin Energy E-V 185/65R15) from the junkyard, but calculations show they are a bit too large for my car.
