got. it's called lower rolling resistance. you can "simulate" it by over inflating your tires
tires these days especially the eco ones will have good LRR so it takes less effort to accelerate and maintaining the desired vehicle speed.

that however, *may* mean that grip may be compromised and that it will be a bit harder to stop

btw you so free after "supposedly leaving the saga thread" until have to necro threads around?

it's michelin's entry level tire that's for sure.

and the treadwear rating being almost 400, it's fairly hard too. (though not as hard as the rest of the entry level that's over 400)

double check on the NCT 5, as 200 treadwear rating is into damn high performance tires already, and NCT5 is definitely not high performance.

240 is still pretty soft (theoretically better NVH and performance) if you ask me (anything under 300)

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...odel=Eagle+NCT5 this? 16" though, and not sure if oversea and malaysia would share the same ratings for it's various sizes.

checking the sidewall directly would be best
