Hello all,

I'd like to start a survey to see if there is a correlation between fuel economy and make and model of tire for the HCH. I don't want to get entirely scientific but I'd like to add tire pressure and location to my data points.

BTW, I just saw "Who Killed the Electric Car". How I wish I can convert my Hybrid to an electric car, like what their doing to the Priuses.


Bridgestone Insignia SE200 P195/65R15 FE 40.9 PSI 40 (44max) Hawaii

TIA,
Ronald
