I recently changed from 195-45/16 Hankook evo S1's to 205-40/17 Toyo proxes 4's and my average fuel consumption has changed from 5.5L/100 to 5.8L/100.
Also worth mentioning is that while waiting for the new wheels I was running the skinny spare on the front and averaged 5.3L/100 with that and 3 or the Hankooks. It's quite interesting to me how much difference slight changes in Tyre combinations make and also with the km's we do the Toyo's are going to cost about $300 extra in fuel per year, they also happen to not feel anywhere near as direct when driving. They do have one good point and that is the car is almost silent on them, compared to very loud on the Hankooks. Anyone else got some similar stories to add to the knowledge base? I wouldn't mind finding out if there's a more ideal tyre in the 205-40/17 or even if there's a 195-45 that will go on a 17x7 inch rim |
