[quote=lloyd123;173797]I read a NAH review awhile back - can't for the life of me remember where - but it mentioned that the OEM tires were not low rolling resistance tires.[quote]

I finally figured out where I read the review about the NAH not having LRR tires - Automobile.com.

"Best of all is that the Altima Hybrid feels and drives like the regular Altima. The fact that both the Hybrid and the standard Altima wear the same regular Continental ContiPro tires, have CVT gearboxes, and feature oddly calibrated dual-pivot brake pedals means that some of the oddities new hybrid buyers might come across in a Camry or a Civic, aren't an issue with the Altima Hybrid. It also helps that the Altima is one of the best handling midsize sedans on the market, with its ultra-sharp speed sensitive steering and firm spring and damper setup. It corners with little roll, and because it features conventional tires rather than those of the low-rolling resistance variety, it has more grip too."

Although it doesn't reflect well on Automobile.com that they think the NAH has the same CVT transmission as the non-hybrid.
