    cooper tires and crappy gas milage

    so.. despite all the debate about the trip computer being off.. i'm not convinced that is true. when i go past the big brother "slow down" signs that tell you your speed, the speedometer and the "gun" display the exact speed. i have yet to validate this with a GPS as i have a 2G iphone.. but...

    cooper tires and crappy gas milage

    so.. i decided to "step it up" and go from the 265 GoodYear SA to 285 coopers.. it may just be a coincidence, but now my gas milage has dropped from avg of 15 in city to 11.xx i've got 43K miles.. anyone else experience a drop like this is mpg with bigger tires?
