I replaced the OEM's with something else and mpg dropped from 43.5 to 37.5. I hate the stock tires - the darn things slipped on the paint stripes on a dry road. As a result, it was only moderately bad news when my son hit a curb (10 mph) and the darn thing blew out the sidewall. (Again, I have no respect for that stock tire.) My wife hates the idea of ever being stuck someplace, and bought a set of run-flats - the Bridgestone "Drive Guard". The traction is good, but the car feels "draggy", and even with a fuel-efficient driving style I see the mileage at 37. I'll keep looking for a solution, but right now it is not the OEM's and not this Bridgestone. is there anything in the Kumho family?
