Toyota sandbagging the Yaris

[Hershey]

wonder how much fuel saving tires could help bump up the gas mileage ? 2 > 4 ? Anyone actually put these on their YARIS with better m.p.g.s ?

I plan on getting the Bridgestone Ecopia EP100 (summer tires) when my tires need to be replaced. Look for rebates since they come out frequently at Costco or America's Tires. TireRack did testing on some LRR tires: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...y.jsp?ttid=121

I had Michelin HydroEdge tires on my 95 Civic. It's hard to say how much of an improvement there was since my commute changed a few months after the install from 60 miles (no traffic) to 130 miles (moderate to heavy traffic). I was also driving 70+ MPH. If you want to check out the gaslog it's available at http://www.gassavers.org/garage/viewgaslog/1277
