Hy guys

I heard that tyre choice can save on fuel costs. As the petrol price is rising and don’t seems to be coming down any sooner, special energy-saving tyres are becoming increasingly popular. I would like to know what you guys think about their efficiency. Should i buy a set?

I have done a quick research and i found these fuel saving tyres :

Toyo TEO Plus
Michelin Energy Saver
Goodyear Fuel Max
Bridgestone Ecopia
Hankook H430 Enfren

Thx

Been running with the Hankook efren’s on my VW Polo TDI. There is an improvement from of 4.78/100km to 4.46/100km average over 12,800km since fitting. Noise/handling about same as original Continentals, but definite improved handling on dirt roads. Wear looking good so far!

I am just about to retyre my 07 Hyundai Santa Fe after 75K on Hankook Dyna HP’s.
I could not recommend them more..so much so I am going to purchase a replacement set from Tyrepower at kingswood for $180 each.
In all seriousness longevity, predictability and quietness are all great and given the vehicle is over 2 Tonne I expected less…for OEM tyres they are very impressive.

Whilst an interesting article, I woldnt call it a conclusive test.

The article never states what the mystery “conventional tyre” is.
What pressure is the “conventional tyre” run at versus the “LRR”??

What quality was the “conventional tyre”??? If its a budget radial, matching performance is certainly no feather in its cap.

Its Hankook K406 tyre days all over!!

Yeap, Hankook have had this type of tyre before, and they did work…a little.

But still only 5% gain, nothing new, so have not really moved foward after 10 years have they?
