I've got a second wheelset--Aero rims and Bridgestone SO2 PPs--and there is about a 10% mileage hit versus the MXV4s, so the efficiency aspect of the Michelins is undeniable (although part of it is likely from the higher unsprung weight and the greater aerodynamic drag imposed by the larger wheels and tires). Also undeniable is a significant drop in road noise and a dramatic increase in handling and traction with the Bridgestones. I'm very up in the air as to what to replace the Michelins with when the time comes.
