I put the "Continental CrossContact LX20 with EcoPlus technology" on the Silverado. Got them from TireRack because of the mileage warranty and because they are supposed to be LRR tires.

I've taken a massive MPG hit since putting them on - on the order of 20%. That was cold weather mileage - hoping it's not as bad as the temps warm up.

Should have listened to Evois!

 

Wow, did you have alot of tire spin all winter? Were they inflated properly?
A 20% loss on MPG is really severe.

 

Nope, same same. Maybe a little under inflated.

It was a pretty mild winter here too.

Would be interested in your experiences

 

The tires are 39lbs each, which is on the lighter side of tires this size. Them being underinflated could be the problem. Ive never had my mileage fluctuate that much with tires. I'd pull the tires off and check the brakes, I wonder if a caliper or slide is locked up.

 

35 psi and no brake issues .But I've also lost at least 1mpg...uhg what the heck ..was at 19.2 mpg now 17.8 what is happening here???? How can tires make a easy 24 miles per
tank differance????

 

I'm not sure I even want to do the math to see how much that will cost over the life of the tire..

 

I use 36 psi and have the LRR 22 inch HL alenzas

 

I will try that immediately ..

 

I just had my Michelin LX/2 replaced at 43,000 under warranty because they didnt last 70,000. Michelin offered me 26% off new set. Sucks they wore out in 43000 miles but still far better than the Bridgestone Dueller II's that lasted 26,000 miles.

nice that Michelin actually warranted their tires, I thought a tire warranty wasnt worth the paper it was printed on. Or maybe I was just scammed by the tire dealer. I still paid $800 for set of 4 (that includes mount/balance lifetime rotation/balance and road hazard)

Still pricey.

 

My Alenzas have lasted me >70k miles with 4/32 thread left twice already. I regularly rotate and keep it inflated to 36 psi.
