LRR Users

I want this thread to be about what LRR tires you have now vs what you had before, tire size and MPG gain.

I've read a lot of new LRR users getting 6% or so better mileage so I'd like to compile a list.

Thanks

What I had,
General atimax hp 205 55 16
now Bridgestone ecopias 205 55 16
Gain was in the 5-10% range. sorry for not being more exact but I did several mods at the same time. It is my best idea from the 300 miles I drove before any new mods.
