Fuel Efficient Tires 2022
 
I'm going to need new tires sooner rather than later, sometime this year. Want to make sure I leave myself enough time to research what is best before needing to make an emergency purchase.

What are some good options for LRR tires? I've seen the GY Fuel Max, but they aren't available in 14". Michelin Energy Savers seem to be unavailable as well. What other options should I look at?

4x19" wheels, BMW i3 tires?

If your willing to downsize just buy RE92s in the 165/65r14 size (all other sizes suck) on a Gen 1 Prius even after odometer correction it was a big jump in mpgs

Another option that is close are Vredsteins

And there are Dunlop enasaves but likely not as good

Many insight owners are moving to Vredestein Quatracs. They're not marked as LRR, but the observed economy drop is minimal compared with the high watermark RE92s, they have a lot more grip in all conditions, and they're cheap. Not a perfect fuel record setting tire, but s great compromise.

Other than that, options are getting pretty slim.

14 is a dead size. Time to get new tires and wheels.

Unfortunately, for most of my vehicles their tire circumference is just as dead in every wheel size. My options in 15 and 16 are no better if I want something that still fits in the wheel well.

I usually go to Tire Rack, put in my stock tire size, then sort by Consumers' Highest Rating. Out of the top three or four, I pick the one with the combination of best price, darkest green survey ratings, and most miles reviewed. I just checked for an 01 Corolla and your options are pretty thin in 14".

Might have to go a little bigger.

What is that circumference exactly? Any chance it's 27½"?
