    Thanks Mendel. If the mpg went down, it must have been very brief as I didn't notice any change (that I recall).
    I've beat this issue to death, but I can't wait for those Premiers to wear out so I can get something different, and hopefully quieter.

    Thanks. I'm at about 11,000 miles now, and the mpg did increase a bit. But the noise is making me nuts.
    And excuse me for butting in here. Thanks guys.

    I have a solution. Start losing your hearing. You'll be deaf..... but not nuts. I have a spare Premier waiting in the wings to be used. It won't deafen me anymore than I am already..... because it is a BF Goodrich Premier Touring. :ROFLMAO:
    Oh, I am so funny!

    My Prime Advanced came with Toyo NanoEnergy A29 fitted, they were removed within in days of getting home & stored in my tire vault.

    Prior to purchase I had made the decision to run a 205/50-17 Ultra High Performance All -Season Non LRR tire for added performance in wet and dry grip, for me this was the right way to go because the grip/safety is clearly there.

    I support the all season decision. I run all seasons on every car ive had (usually because I don't have a second set of wheels for summer tires). That said, I'll take a small gas mileage hit for increased traction/ performance if not for safety alone.

    When my ensaves wear out, I'm putting all seasons on it. I usually go with continental DWS, but tires change all the time so I'll evaluate when the time comes

    My Non LRR tires are a one year newer "cousin" of the Continental DWS.

    Just curios, your "enasave" same tire as mine? Dunlop enasave 01 a/s:https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dunlop&tireModel=Enasave+01+A%2FS. If it is the same tire, then they are all season passenger tires. They are also LRR tires. It is not meant for snow, but I did fine for my first winter in NE with the OEM enasave with plenty of treads. For my second winter when the tread on OEM was down to 5/32, I decided to buy dedicated winter tires for my PRIME.
