Of course, I want to lose as few mpg's as possible, but understand that I will lose some, hopefully no more than 10%. My mpg is consistently 48-50.
I bought the sumimoto because the dunlops were crap in the rain... now it's night and day difference. Wider is bad because this will effect FE. The narrower the tire, the more efficient it will be.

Rich,

Did you replace your tires yet? Did you get the comfortreds? I was considering those as well and wondered what the MPG impact was.
