Default Bridgestone Turanza

Has anyone used these tires? Had to replace the original Dunlaps (blow out on one and the others were bald!) Anyway, I din't do the homework I shoudl have done, but got a set of Bridgestone Turanzas. My FE went down overnight! Anyone else have that problem?

New tires, period, FE will suffer. Especially non-LRR tires.
Give 'em 500-1000 miles. They are SO sticky when brand new.

Your FE may suffer some long-term, but I bet it won't be as bad as you're seeing right now.

I had these and they were awesome! Until I looked at my mileage. It dropped to 35 overnight.

Now I'm on Yokohamas, and I've krept up to 40-41... I was getting 49 avg on my Dunlops.
