Oh Boy Thyme, now you've done it.... I think ya went and hurt Frank Lee's feelings. Trust me, I know, he ain't been right with me since the whole VW Beetle aero ponderings a half a year back or more.

Seriously, if someone says "neener neener", I'm calling the moderators.

So I've been running regular tires at ~40 PSI...which is maybe 6 PSI over the door sticker. Now I've put a pair of Kumho Ecowings on the back at 40 PSI.

So am I now seeing a 10-11% mpg gain on the rear axle?

Since the car is FWD...won't really be able to tell how they handle the wet and so forth at 40 PSI till they are on the front.

Now, now. It's not nice to make fun of Frank's baby picture.
