The ABSOLUTE best thing to do is to go to the "Tire Rack" web site. They carry all the significant tires made. THey will have road tested and comparison shopped for you, giving you the characteristic differences of each tire on YOUR particular car!!! It will take about an hour for you to figure out how to negotiate around their web-site. Or, you can just call them. They are the true tire "guru's!" You can buy directly from them, or use their information to bargain with at your local tire store. You will learn A LOT just by reading their expose about tire readings, like treadwear ratings, temperature rating, etc. Be aware that many tires can actually IMPROVE your gas mileage. Other tires will cause you to LOSE gas mileage. Good luck and happy tire shopping!!
