    I'm not have much luck finding low rolling resistance tires for my new '01. Anyone know where to look?

    I just ordered some Michelin Energy Savers A/S ONLINE at Sam's Club. I googled and found Omaha has 4 Sam's Clubs in your area if you have a membership. They still had to special order the tires, here they were $112 each.

    Those are the ones I wanted. I didn't know they would special order tires.

    Thanks!

    I guess that tire isn't made in the size I need for my '01. What's the best tire available that might get me a few extra MPGs?

    What differences would I expect to see if I went with a 185/60/14 or a 185/65/14 instead of the OEM 175/65/14?
