I'm trying to find out with tires get the same or better gas mileage on my 2008 Civic Hybrid. All 4 OE Dunlop SP31 have close to 25000 miles with 3/32nds on them. They have been rotated every 5k miles. I do not want to get the same brand. Has anyone experienced a better tire with same/better mpg than OE? If you have please tell me which brand before i purchase soon. I have narrowed it down to 2 brands.

Yokohama and Michelin. Both weight over 1-2lbs over OE stock (18lb) and get over 65000 mile treadlife.

Thanks in advance
