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?
|
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. |

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. |
