The MPG you gain by swapping low rolling resistantaice tires int worthwhile in my eyes. Since the rolling friction is lower in the tires,MPG is gained since it takes less effort to get moving, but at the cost of worse accelration figures, and longer braking distances. I'd hate to see how bad the braking distance is in wet weather.
