Got new treads & mpg increase
Got some Continental PureContact tires a couple weeks ago to replace my worn out Sumitomo performance touring tires. Since I've not noticed a big diff in handling but the ride is smoother and my gas mileage has gone from 28 to 31.
Only one minor downfall is an I'd whirring sound at highway speeds. Not too hard to deal with but might annoy some folks.

They do make some noise on certain pavement types, especially grooved concrete, but I like mine and I did notice a slight fuel mileage increase too.
But that evened out over time, after 78,000 miles mine are just about used up, but I think I'll replace them with another set.

I have no idea if you fall into that category, but it sounded like the correct difference in MPG.
