I just had these tires installed and I love them. I replaced the Duelers I had on which looked good but gave me crappy mileage (15 mpg.). The Michelins are wider than the Duelers but weight 6 pounds per tire less! They look really wide and my gas mileage has improved to 19 mpg. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I did not know certain tires could increase MPG by 4. Wow!

15 mpg is so bad it's hard to believe. 19 mpg is still not good. Do you do just short trips or city stop-n-go driving? Not saying this applies to you but we had two RX drivers here complaining of poor mpg. It turned out that the reason was they were driving in 4th gear instead of "Drive".

I bet 15 mpg is not that unusual. I live in the LA area so there is a lot of stop-n-go driving but also a lot of wide open freeway driving as well. I take impeccable care of my car so incorrect tire pressure, lack of engine maintenance, etc. are not an issue. Oh, and I do know the difference between 4th gear and drive.
