New Tires Worse Mileage

Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

New Tires Worse Mileage

Post by BDBartlett »

Hi All,

I finally bought new summer tires for the S-80 and stowed the Blizzaks. I bought 4 NANKANG TOURSPORT N605 255/50/R17 and had a 4 wheel alignment done. so far I'm on my second tank of gas and mileage per the onboard computer has gone from 26.3 to 23.0 MPG avg. What gives?

Regards

I would love to know as well. Same thing happened to me this summer when I bought new tires.
