the stock size 16" S-03's. We have dropped from about 20 mpg, to about 18 mpg. Mostly stop and go on So Cal driving. On about our 5th tank of gas. Have not taken a 'road trip' yet, but don't expect the mpg to be hit as bad (On a good traffic free trip, we pull in from 28-31 MPG, depending on hills and speed factors, I'm hoping to see from 27-30 mpg with the new tires. I knew that we would take a hit on the MPG, but, felt the safety edge was worth the cost. The stock Mich's were so bad in water, I considered it a danger to drive the car on slick roads.
Love the car...
Love the tires, so far...
