Just had to replace my four "summer" stock tires. 40K on odometer but only 30K on the stock tires. Innsides wore out even with rotation. Getting rear cambers this next week. However, at Schwab told them I wanted the low rolling resistance tires for my 2018 Accord Hybrid Touring. They installed the Reputation NLW-3 Luxury Touring 85K mileage tires. Supposed to be low rolling resistance. Wife doesn't think so. Used to get 42-45 mpp and between 38 and 42 in winter with low resistance studded snows.

Anyone have anything experiences they can share. I will drive car today to see if I can get it over 40 mpg. Nice tires, but I want the mpg even if the tires don't last as long.

I can get over 50 easily on mine one of the reasons I did not want the touring 19" wheels

Mine has 17 inch.

Hello,

I just recently had to replace the tires on my 19 AHT. Got the Pirelli AS Plus 3 on them and love them. I have the 17 inch rims on my Touring. Wrote a review on them on the other Accord forum: Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 on 2019 Accord Hybrid Touring

Also, someone said there's a nice post on a Tesla forum reviewing low rolling resistance tires so I looked and found this:
Model 3 Replacement Tire Discussion (OEM sizes only)

Hope this helps you out.

It's not the tires it's the driving habits/style. You can't expect to drive the same as other vehicles and get vastly different mpg. I did this yesterday morning to show an example. I can do this anytime, just by changing my style slightly. This is with some highway driving too. Car dirty haven't had time to clean past two weeks.

I agree 80% comes down to one's driving style. But tires do play a role as does weight and climate.

Unfortunate, I didnt take a picture of the average mpg I achieved this past Monday driving from Victorville to Los Angeles, but because I was very early and had time to kill time, my average for that trip was 74.5 mpg! BUT... I was driving 60 - 65 mph max on freeway. I was in the slow lane and driving that slow is just not doable on a regular basis. Everyone, and I mean everyone, even 18 wheelers were passing me. I would say average speed people drive these days is between 85 and 90 mph. Driving to LA today I was going 80 and people were still passing me! Still averaged 53 mpg on this trip though... Lol

I wish tires didn't play a role, but they definitely do. I would always average 48 - 49 on my old/OEM Michelin Energy Saver:

But with these tires, the 1lb difference on each corner definitely plays a role. One can definitely feel the difference a more solid sidewall plays in driving dynamics and mileage. Better handling, quieter ride, more solid feel, but at the expense of mpg. Always a tradeoff for gaining something Ina different area.

Tires and wheels/weight pay a very very minor difference in MPG. I get these number with aftermarket wheels and non energy saver tires. Especially if you are staying with the same size. Now if you went to a skinnier tire that is a different story.

A bit off subject, but I recently sold my 2018 hybrid. My wife and I traveled through a number of states and I never liked being without a spare out in the middle of nowhere. So, I purchased a 17 inch steel wheel and correct sized tire w/lug nuts to throw in the trunk when we traveled. I still have the wheel and tire as well as a jack for a very reasonable price if anyone is interested.

@ljkhybrid you may want to post a thread in our Classified forum (Honda Accord X Parts) of the parts you want to sell.
