Do only original Dunlop tires for a Honda Hybrid get the best mpg?
Recently I needed new tires for my 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid. Rather than buying the identical Dunlop tires that originally came with the new vehicle, I purchased a set of Uniroyal Tigerpaws from another tire dealer. Ever since I changed tires, my miles per gallon dropped by almost 10%. I called the Honda dealer thinking that perhaps some computer setting needed to be tweaked. The service person asked if I got new tires and I said yes. He stated that unless I get the identical tires that originally came with the car FROM HONDA, I would most likely not get as good of gas milege as I was getting prior to replacing the original tires. As Tom and Ray say, “BOOOOGUS???
