Anyone Using Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+
Hello all... I have recently replaced my OEM Continental Conti Procontact tires with Michellin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ All Season tires. It has been 3 weeks so far and I am really enjoying the ride and comfort and overall handling of the car. But I have noticed that it has decreased my fuel economy by like 3 mpg on average. Is this normal ? Any advice or recommendations would be my appreciated.

I am using those tires, on my second set actually. Before the two sets I had the AS3.
Obviously move the tire and have been satisfied with them, hence why I keep buying them. I do not have fuel economy issues, 3mpg is a lot..
i get almost 28mpg on highway and average about 24mpg.

I believe you lost MPG because the conti procontacts might at some level be low rolling resistance tires and are equipped by Mercedes in order to advertise higher MPG numbers.
I have continental DWS with a eurocharged tune and I can hit 29 mpg highway if I'm really trying.
