Free < $100 $100-$500 $501-$2000 > $2000 Use low-rolling resistance tiresFriction between tires and the road is responsible for 5-15% of a light-duty vehicle’s fuel consumption. Low rolling resistance tires are made of a unique rubber compound that minimizes friction, thereby increasing fuel efficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, switching to low rolling resistance tires often increases fuel efficiency by 1.5-4.5%. While this may not seem like a lot, it can save you a few tanks of gas each year, which adds up to bigger savings over the lifetime of the tires. Next time you need to replace your car’s tires, ask your repair shop for advice and do some of your own research to help you to choose a low rolling resistance tire that is right for your car. Learn more about low rolling resistance tires.
