So I have put on 3k miles with these tires. Being in central FL, the tires have been awesome in the rain. They grip the road extremely well and are quiet.
I will say the only downside to owning these tires is that I've taken a big 5mpg hit. I drive the same way, and didn't want to jump to conclusions, but after a lot of fill ups and 3k miles, mpg is definitely down. I will take the trade off for now, because I can still make it to work all week with 1 tank, but barely. Next round I may go back to the Procontacts. I was told I'd take a small hit with MPG, because they are wider, but didn't expect this much of an MPG loss.
Tried to find a tire thread, but couldn't find one. I have always wanted to try this tire, and overall I am happy.
Anyone else have these tires? I have had great luck with Michelin tires and wet traction. Would Michelin Energy Savers produce the same results as my Procontacts, or would they be similar to my Premier A/S?
