    Love them, much better than the stock Yoko. crap tires I had before. If you do buy them please keep in mind it takes a little while to break them in. Very quiet reliable tires and definitely helps the mpg's.

    Michelin Defenders all the way. The total cost is the same and they handle better.

    Love the MPG but way too noisy for me, especially with the rough surfaced freeways in my area.. I don't mind a 1-2 MPG drop for a silent and better handling tire.

    ^ That's quite good. How much tread depth left? Can't be much.
