I personally observed changes in milage when I ditched the primacy tires and then again when I changed rims... Almost everyone I know never replaces the original tires with another set of OEM tires. Tires/wheels make a big difference in both handling and mileage in these cars.

Mine did not change signficantly when I bought new tires, but that's because, while I didn't stick with Primacy, I did get a similar all-season touring tire rather than a "sportier" tire.

I guess all this info here will change my decision for the coming tire selection. I was almost set for sticky PS4S for my daily. May be I should consider PSA/S3. I am set for the Michelin. Any recommendation from Michelin users? Car is daily and stock. Don’t want to loose any comfort but better (if possible) is preferred Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The AS3+ are warrantied longer though if that matters to you but the MPS4s. If you are on the stock Primacy, AS3+ or MPS4s is more comfortable than the primacy. However PS4s is more comfortable the AS3+ and roadnoise is also lower on the MPS4s than AS3+ due to the softer compound. I wouldn only get AS3+ if you're on a budget and encounter light snow. Other than that MPS4s is the best. Traction is greatly improved from the MPSS though, I no longer spin tires as often in 1st/2nd gear on my BMW M4.

Great info! Thanks I have gone through almost all topics to figure out my needs. I got my Brz in April 2019 and since then drive every week from Boston to NY (25K). I used the stock primacy summer/winter and 5/32 is left. Soon I will permanently move to NY and want to get another set of rims (summer winter). Based on my search I settled for 17/8 with the closest offset to stock (most probably I will get Enkei TS5 - 17/8 with 45 offset) and want to warp them with the MPS4s (225/45/17). The stock rims I want to keep fo winter and planed to get an all season tire like the AS3+. I am not an expert and never had separate summer/winter sets. Based on my experience I am not sure if I really will need solid winter tires. My daily commute will be max 15-20 miles. I decided to have 2 sets but still not sure about the winter. MPS4s should be fine in from mid spring until snowy days. Will see. Information provided in this forum helps a lot. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yea I realized that after I responded to the post about fuel, which made me think of tires, which you also said it can't be.
I'm at a loss to explain it then. The only other things (besides some kind of mechanical issue or your neighbor siphoning gas out of your car) would be a change in driving habits or routes, but I believe you stated it is neither of those.

Unless you are going to new york city where you will not need to drive the car, you want winter tires. You can get General Altimax artic from tire rack on inexpensive wheels so you can swap them yourself. No reason not to do it that way. The car drives awesome in snow on winter tires, and sort of scary on all seasons. |

Update: It was very likely a bad O2 sensor. I took it to another mechanic and he told me the same as the dealer that the computer didn't show anything wrong. One of the things I found consistently when searching online was that a bad O2 sensor could cause a 20-30% drop in mpg. Since that's what I was seeing I asked the mechanic about it and he said it was possible. He said if I wanted to change it out to buy the part and bring it back in and he'd do it for me.
He just finished and showed me the old one and said it was running rich so that was probably the problem. I just filled up and I'll know in a couple weeks when I go through this tank if that fixed it. |
