Exactly what I was thinking. The only way to get a REAL LIFE comparo in MPG from the "better RR" would be to have purchased the same size tires that you had before.
Yes you can maybe still compare, but lots of math will be involved.

Wish they had them in 185/60/15 (assuming they wear down slower than the Potenza's). I could use a normal MPG again as a DD once I get R-comps for the track
