Does ANY tire get better mileage than originals?

    I don't think these are made any more, or at least they're not listed on Tire Rack. I did find the Pirelli P4 Four Season tires though and they seem to be a very good all season tire that likely have low rolling resistance. They feature a "silica-rich tread compound" and they get 855 rev/mile (same as OEM Integrity) for the 195/60/15 size or 851 rev/mile for the OEM size of 185/65/15. Anyone have any experience with these or can provide any comments. I'm about on the verge of buying a set in the next week or so.

    My next choice might be the BF Goodrich Traction T/A T. I'd also appreciate any comments on these if anyone has experience with them. Here's a link to a side-by-side comparison of the two.

    Enquire at Beaurepairs, I believe they have a sale on and XM1+ are in the sale. May not be that size but I saw $114 each.
