New tyres.

I have just replaced my tyres with four all-weather tyres. Yokohama Bluearth 4S. These replace Yokohama Bluearth ES32's which were summer tyres (we don't get particularly cold weather and virtually no snow here. Plenty rain though).
The old tyres were rated C for economy whereas these are rated E. Already noticed a drop in mpg as shown on my ScanGauge. Could be as much as 10% but I will know once I get some top-ups recorded. I also notice a reduction in coasting ability. I do know that new tyres do kick the a$$ out of FE for the first full thousand miles. I believe the EPA does tests with tyres with 4,000 covered.
