Rolling Resistance Data for >1,000 tires

[sendler]

Two of the tires I have the most experience with scored well. Conti CH95 and Mich MXV4energy. I couldn't find the Bridgestone RE092.

I compiled the top 5 tires in each size (by my count):

A Load Index of 118/121 is what is generally associated with 3/4 & 1T pickups. Anything less means the pickup is not able to meet its capabilities (though there are those willing to make that trade-off; generally ride quality associated).

I'm a little confused by things now. I was all excited by #385 (Bridgestone Dueler Alenza HL P265/70R17) which has a RRC of 6.2. Then I saw what appears to be the same tire as #149 with a RRC of 9.54. As far as I can tell the only difference is that #385 is listed as OE market (original equiptment), whereas #149 is the REP market (replacement). #385 also was reported by Bridgestone itself, whereas #149 comes from "CEC-B".

Seems like a huge difference for the same tire!

I am hoping you realize that the tires are different. #385 - the OE tire - is the tire as designed to meet some OEM's specs, where #149 - the Replacement market tire - was designed for the replacement market. They are NOT the same tire.

It is common for tires to start out as a Replacement market tire, then a program to supply a tire to an OEM comes along and the tire gets redesigned to the OEM's specs - which are a lot about RR and not much about treadwear. The Replacement tire would be completely replaced by the OE tire.

It is also common for the opposite to happen - OE tire first, then when the OEM no longer wants the tire, the tire gets changed to Replacement standards - which means a better wearing tread compound.

So if I want OE tire (#385) is there any way for me to get it?

If I just go looking for a Bridgestone Dueler Alenza HL 265/70R17 tire, will I just automatically get the replacement version (#149)?

Only if it is still in production. At this point that would be very unlikely.
