Tire Recommendations for 2013 Sport
I'm approaching the end of my stock Dunlops on my stock 13 Fit Sport and I'm having a hard time narrowing down my list of options with all the different tire models and size combinations. I have searched but I can't seem to find any old threads that address what I'm looking for.
Anyone have a top 3-5 options (both model and size) based on the following priorities:
1. Fuel economy. I currently average 36-38mpg and really don't want that to go down.
2. Handling. It's not that I'm unhappy with the Dunlops per se, but if there is an option of a tire/size with similar Fuel economy and better handling, that would be nice.
3. Tread wear
4. Noise/comfort
5. Price
Basically, I'm "ok" with the fuel economy and handling of the Dunlops and wouldn't want a downgrade in either of those areas but would also really appreciate improvement in either area.
I live out in the country so about 90% of my driving is 50-60mph on country roads and highways with big sweeping curves. I'd be nice if whatever tire I got improved handling (maybe a stiffer sidewall for less body roll?) on those curves.
Performance in the snow is not much of a factor. If there is any snow forecast, I'll just drive my Subaru.
Thanks in advance!
