MPG drop

All of a sudden my MPG has dropped by 10mpg at cruise. I used to get 60 at 50mph. Now it's 50 at 50. Only major change was a new set of Walmart Goodyear assurance tires in stock size.
Is that the probable cause? We're the Oem Tires that much better?! Or is there a checklist to go through to find an issue? I'm at 55k miles. Mpg got worse at 45k along with the tire swap.
Any ideas?

Did you have the emission recall done recently? I had the recall done at the beginning of the month. Prior to recall, hand calculated mileage was about 1.5-2 MPG better than DIC mileage. Today I filled up for the second time since recall work. Hand calculated mileage 5 MPG better the DIC. On the first tank I noticed a difference but chalked it up to the manual regen. Maybe there is a calibration problem when the computer is reset during recall work. just wondering
