hankook tires and MPG

pdub335 · 07-08-2010, 04:19 PM

for the people who have installed Hankook V12 tires on their cars, have you noticed a change in you're mpg? It seems like I've lost about 1 mpg. I've only had the tires for about 500miles and in the last 2 fill ups I've noticed that loss of 1mpg. How about other owners out there? Regardless I like the tires so I won't change them over 1 mpg. Just curious to know if it will get worse or maybe better.
thanks

How do you even go about measuring 1mpg ? did you get 15miles less on a full tank ? maybe you pressed down on the gas slighy harder ? lol...

With a larger wheel/tire package that's heavier, you are bound to lose a few MPG's... but the feel of the car should be worth it.

+1 Or the gas pump clicked off slightly later, or the tires overall diameter is slightly taller due to having full tread depth, or running the A/C more with summer heat, etc...
