Has anyone that looks close at and works hard to get the best mpg found a replacement tire that did better then the OEM Dunlap's?

Don't need to here about better other preformace just tires that provided BETTER fuel efficiency for 1st hand experence.

I like the Conti Pro Contact.... It weighs just 16 LBs. in 195/ 55/ 15 and is a great all round tire with 400 wear rating.

That's pretty cool but.....Did you happened to see what it did to your fuel efficiency?

Actually I was so into the way it handled and drove mounted on 9 1/2 LB Enkei RPF! wheels I didn't pay a lot f attention to driving slow..... They still matched what I'd been getting at more reasonable speeds with the stock tires..... I put on a super charger kit and really drive fast now and manage 31 to 33 MPG where I was getting a pretty constant 38 and sometime touching 40...... I am not a hyper miler but I don't always drive full tilt either so I am probably not much help I did get a solid 39.5 on a 275mile trip driving 80MPH just before the S/C installation.... Tires are getting more condition and driving style specific in design all the time.... I went with these performance touring tires because of the performance gain from reduced weight, higher load rating,and a tread design that is very suitable for anything other than closed course racing and I am not sure that they would slow me down much even then...... Shop Tire Rack and research to find what you want.... These fit me well and another tire may be more to your liking but take time making your pick.
