Consumer Reports for Tires

Exclusive summary about Consumer Reports for Tires by Reid Martens

The first place you can find consumer reports for tires is in the actual Consumer Reports magazine, or on their website. The Consumer Reports website also has lots of helpful information from their past reviews, so this is another good resource for information.

Many sites like Amazon.com allow users to post reviews and ratings for the products they sell. If there are lots of reviews posted, however, and many are negative, chances are that is indicative of the overall results.

Google and other search engines are also a good place to find consumer reviews of tires. If you enter the brand and model of tire you're looking at along with the word "reviews" you'll find lots of places such as blogs and forums where people are free to post their experiences.

Improve Gas Mileage with Low Rolling Resistance Tires

Exclusive summary about Low Rolling Resistant Tires by Jared Kugel

Low rolling resistance tires are specially engineered to reduce the amount of energy that is wasted as heat as the tire spins. Since cars without these tires spend a lot of energy overcoming rolling resistance, gas mileage suffers as a direct result. In addition to consumer interest, manufacturers looking to meet CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards are choosing to equip their vehicles with LRR tires.

If you are a driver concerned with getting the most miles per gallon, investing in low rolling resistance tires is a smart move. When combined with other fuel-efficient strategies, these tires deliver stellar performance and markedly improved mileage of up to 5-10%!
