MPG drop

9877 Views 34 Replies 17 Participants Last post by  MPGeez
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?

New tires overall will kill your MPG for a little while till broken in(drag created by new tire tread unlike the "old tires" ) given all else is OK.
