Comment on How are newer cars (gas/hybrid) supposed to sound?

If you want to keep your fuel economy make sure you install an economy tire for hybrids, theyre a harder tire.

I don’t know exactly how much life is left on them (just that they passed inspection), but I’m due for tires soon so figured might as well since it’s sometimes a hassle to schedule that.
Yeah, I cheaped out the last time I got tires and didn’t spring for the “eco” tires. Lost 2-3 MPG but was still averaging 48. The regular tires were like $200 less than the eco ones (per tire).
