I don't have the old tires anymore, And I defiantly could not un-mount, mount, un-mount, and remount them over and over anyways.

I think he's pulling your rubber leg.

Or perhaps it's a typo. SVOboy demands ABBA?

LRR is the bomb! I bought my new "HRR" before I knew LRR were readily available.

So if I were to just guess (not that I completely think this) they gave me +1mpg, if I changed the 2 back tires to the same tires would I get another 1mpg or would it be less since they are back tires and not doing much?

KJSatz 07-27-2009 01:06 PM

Wild speculation:

The back tires are doing much. They support roughly half of the weight, and there is plenty of rolling resistance generated back there. +1 mpg, perhaps not, but gains? Probably.

I agree on the Viva 2's...replaced rears on my Lumina (Deltas w/no tread to Viva 2's) and saw 1.5 MPG.

Give 'em about 1200 miles to 'break in,' and they'll feel less squishy as the releasing compound works out of them.

Oh really?! cool, they seem a little "squishy" during braking but I didn't know what that was.

During braking and heavy cornering, I bet - you'll feel more than normal body roll and "sloshing" - as if you are driving on a waterbed.

You can accelerate the "break-in" by wetting them down, giving them a light scrub, and rinsing again, but may as well save the water and just drive 'em.

So why exactly do they do the "squishy" thing? its a chemical in the tire? Explain please
