Best Low Rolling Resistance tire
 

For my VX,

Sumitomo HTR T4 165/70R13 are still the best LRR tire to buy?

I don't mind to put 155/80R13 or 175/65R13

I have the Sumitomo HTR T4 , i think there great!!

Vredestein Quatrac 2 145/80R13 look good too There LRR rated.

The only one I found are:

All these tire are not offer in 13". But I not sure there all offer here in north america.

145/80R13 (0.19% off)
Vredestein Quatrac 2
Dunlop SP 10-3E
Dunlop SP-20

But These dunlops size are not offer in north america in these size

165/70R13 OEM size
Sumitomo HTR T4
Bridgestone RE92

But These Bridgestone RE92 size are not offer in north america in these size

155/80R13 (3.04% off)
Kumho Solus KR21
Kumho Powerstart 758

We dont have no more a wide choice of tire in these size. 13" are more difficult to find now, even more in these size.

Also find Marangoni e-logic that prepare 165/70R13 and Marangoni Trio 165/70R13.

Both are LRR rated.

I will call Monday to know if they distribute these sise here in North-America.

There Low rolling resistance tire.

I will have it install Thusday.

77$cdn each

Great info ..Thanks for posting

Just have it install.

Better ride than my Goodyear Alegra.

I have it inflate at maximum. 44psi of nitrogene like my old Alegra

Can wait to see the fuel effencydiference with these LRR tire.

what kind of %age increases in mpg would one expect to see going from regular all seasons to lrr? i currently have snow tires on my civic and will be switching to lrr's soon.

Do they make LRR tires for a 95 Civic EX?

Update:

I found Michelin HydroEdge Green X as being compatible if you go up a tire size which is what I
currently run at 185/65R14 instead of 185/60R14.

I really like the Sumitomos. They offer decent grip too.

screw low rolling resistance, best mpg gains are found around never leaving top gear not gaining negligible mpg on highways that your only on for 85 % of the time even, even if you drive 90%highway better handling=better mpg than rolling blahblah im getting 42mpg in a normal 34/35 mpg vehicle at 65-70mph, plus when you get thin tires, ever consider how easily you could drive off the highway with a big gust of wind? unsafe high mpg is just plain stupid

I thought that wider tires had less rolling resistance.

I do believe they are a harder rubber which takes away from handling.

one thing that I wonder is that you make these claims (which are probably true) so why don't you have a gaslog and a garage? I have a similar situation mileage wise. my car is rated 25mpg and I am averaging around 35. I don't talk hwy mileage because nobody drives 100% highway and actually, I hardly ever dorive highway at all. my commute to work and back (which accounts for over 90% of my driving) is non-highway driving.

My study has all indicated that wider tires have less rolling resistance. I also agree that carrying your inertia through a turn by not having to brake beforehand is an effective (and fun!) gas saving technique, though it did get me in some trouble today when some neighborhood pedestrians were scared by my fast entrance onto my street (even though I slowed down to 15mph when I discovered pedestrians).

I used to drive 90% highway.
