Those AT2's I bought from you are hardly worn, amazing, but having put on the brand new Continental 17" tyres and seeing a steady 34+ mpg, I don't think I will be putting the 18's on any time soon. All day today driving in France I have been gob smacked at the extra 20% fuel economy I am getting, mind you I have a manual GS so don't have all the extra weight of side steps e.t.c.

I get less mpg from my AT2s but we do have them for playing, then swap, think thats the best plan.

Make sure you have them inflated properly.
