Default New OEM tires make HUGE difference

Just got my RE92's on Wasabi yesterday. I knew the tires on it weren't LRR BUT I never even noticed they were the wrong size!

Now with the correct tires mileage has shot up just from the few miles I've driven so far! Today I'm going to top off and go for a drive so we'll see how much of an increase I get from a fresh tank.

Sooo, this is just a note to check those tires to make sure some nimrod didn't put the wrong size non-LRR tires on your car if you bought it used.

Default Re: New OEM tires make HUGE difference

Quick note, just got home this evening. After driving around town today for 91 miles I pulled into the garage with 77.6 on the FCD. Normally with the same driving I'm at about 63 mpg. I blame it on the right tires still.
