Goodyear Fuel Max Tires

[enkid]

Winter update.... 15000+ miles, tires at max sidewall (51psi). Good comfortable ride, steering very precise. Rolling resistance a lot better than older tires in cold weather. I guesstimate 5 MPG cold weather improvement for a 45 mile mostly highway trip vs. Eagle GT tires.

Isnt that a really harsh ride running at max sidewall pressure.

I run anywhere from max sidewall to 60 PSI, and while the ride is definitely more firm than at the door pressure it isn't "harsh" at all. When driving through switchbacks in the mountains 32 PSI would actually allow for sidewall roll, while higher pressures maintain the sidewalls.

While generating a much smaller footprint, fact...tires at the factory recommended pressures, that's where the nice cushy ride and shorter stopping distances come into play, and actually safer handling; good alternatives to just getting maximum fuel economy, imo.
