Anyone got info on tires

That's less rolling friction. They do save you piles of money on fuel, never had a problem in snow or rain. Michelin X-One Energy series are the best.

Google is a beautiful thing.

Just because a tire is listed on EPAs Smartway list doesn't mean its low rolling resistance at all. A manufacturer only has to show a 25% improvement over "representative" products in the same class to be listed. The EPA has tires listed as "low rolling resistance" that may as well be squared-off blocks of granite.

 

been shopping myself.


Any tire bought manufactured before 1/1/13 is usable in CA until 1/1/15. As shown by the DOT date stamp on the tire. Smartway certified or not. (It's footnote 2 in the smartway pdf)

The two most economical tires I am getting quoted right now are the Toyo M657 and the Fireston FD695. With the Toyo taking the high marks. Both are smartway certified and recappable.

Both are considered a "Tier 2" tire unlike Goodyear, Michelin or BF Goodrich. But the guys running them and comparing numbers to a tier 1 tire, seeing the same mileage for $700-1000 less front cost.

 

Didnt mean to post the EPA link.

 

My next set will be the michelin xda-3. Not so worried about the fuel mileage as i am the 7 year 700,000 mile warranty. And theyre supposed to be smart way approved and have lower rolling resistance. Wont have the fuel mileage of a super single but at least if one lets go im not sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tire guy i can limp up the road to get it fixed. And they come in a variety of sizes as well including 24.5 talls in load range h...even thougb i only have 36k rears.

 

i have Michelin XDA 3@on my steertire,and supersingles Goodyear 392 duraseal( never more a flat with SS is a gel inside) on my Drivetires

 

How do you like the XDA 3's?
