I'm curious about which all-season tires the hypermilers use as well since it's about that time for me to replace my tires. I'm a little turned off by goodyear after the eagle oem tires, but if the Fuel Max's turn out to be alright I could get over my bias. I'm looking at yokohama avid trz right now, (I think that's what you use BailOut?)

I've also heard on the grape vine that all-season nokian wr's have low rolling resistance while still maintaining respectable traction when the winter months roll around.

Yes, but there are many out there that will work just as well. I went with the tread wear rating, user reviews and pricing.

Naturally I've done my own outside research and took into account my region/climate. From what I can see and what is easily available to me I've broken it down to the yokohamas or pirelli p4 all seasons. I just figure that if you would trust them on your mountain commute, they would probably be fine for my needs. (Outside of my own research, I trust your judgement)
