    Some real data - marvelous. The best two tires in their test managed 4-5% better MPG than the OE Integritys which is similar to the results I saw with my Nokian WRs and again with my Nokian WRg2s (neither are sold by Tirerack so they were not tested). See the attached Excel spreadsheet for details.

    Please don't! It has pointers to two sources of objective data.
