Re: Tires and HCII fuel economy
Don't know if you a member of the Yahoo Honda Civic Hybrid group. A couple of people over there have replaced the Dunlops with Michelins and reported big dropoffs in mpg (decreases in the 5-10 mpg range). I think there's a view that the softer tire increase rolling resistance.
If you search the Yahoo group's archive messages on the keyword "Michelin" you'll get the details.
