Default Re: Tire issue?

Scott. I took your advice and I did the tire alignment from Goodyear.

I put some miles on my new tires today, and following are some of my observation.
Those tires are quieter than my OEM BridgeStone tires during city drivings, and slightly quieter in Highway drivings. As most of the highways are made by concrete, therefore the tire noise is still alittle bit loud, or as loud as BridgeStone.
They have a very good traction, with responsive steering feel.
My milage dropped alittle bit. Compare with the same trip i did before with my OEM tires, my tank average dropped around 3 miles per gallon. It probably is because it is a new tires, i am set with 32 psi instead of 35 psi, and i am using nitrogen than 'normal air', which nitrigen is more stable in terms of temperature.

I think i made a pretty good decision on switching my tires to Goodyear ResponseEdge
