There's not many mfr which list LRR (low rolling resistance) specs. I have bald BF GoodRich G force 235/40/17's on my 96 318IS. After searching, I think the Conti TouringContact CH95's are the way to go. They weigh only 21lbs each, rather than 25 lbs for the BFG's. That's a 16lb reduction in weight!. Plus the LRR spec is only .0083 BFG's is over 1.2. According to the formula's, I'm supposed to see a 3% in MPG and 2% HP gain. Anyone agree with me. Other Conti's suck but these get good ratings. Anyone want to add pros/cons of these conti CH95 tires???
