    That is very good with those tires. Did you check your speedometer calibration after you got aftermarket tires?

    If I can go completely off topic here, what was the recommendation on the seat covers? I am purchasing a 26PHEV if they are ever allowed to sell them again and I am interested in protecting the interior.

    Was hovering between 67.5 to 68.2 with city driving and occasional highway driving for the last 750 miles. Took a 400+ mile road trip last weekend with primarily all highway and hilly roads to Pa through WV and my mileage dropped to 63.2

    I know. I haven't gone anywhere far in a while, and I try to avoid the fast roads around here, lol. That's still good for a trip, I think. One day, I'll have to take one.
