    Great article. Too bad TireRack didn't run snow and ice tests.

    BTW, this TireRack article has been the subject of at least two other previous threads.

    I just purchased the Michelin Energy Saver AS 195X65X15 about 400 miles ago.

    I purchased at Costco and have 44 psi of Nitrogen in all 4 tires.

    They replaced my AVID toyo tires.

    So far I am gaining about 2 or maybe 3 more MPG's so far. They are still breaking in and I imagine they will get better.

    My original Toyo tires had almost 11,000 miles on them.

    What a surprise: The OEM Integrity tires didn't fare too well.
