Ah, it just wasn't new info and most of the times it's posted it's people whining.

I'm blunt, but it wasn't flaming, just put it in perspective with the history of the comment and that many performance NA engines require 91+ octane

I still love MT for pure fun, but I think people need to get over the idea that they are still more efficient then a well designed AT or CVT.

Considering the EPA MPG spread between the CVT CRZ and the 6spd, I found they tend to get around the same real world MPG. Do you hang out on Fuelly and CRZ forums?

Negative, they are a common OEM summer tire. We have a post specifically about those tires somewhere here.

They are a summer touring tire; as such they will suck and winter and suck for performance driving (if you like grip that is). Otherwise they'll be a nice luxurious tire with little road noise until tortured.
