Recommendations on Hybrid Car Tires

It is important that you know how to assess hybrid car tires for better performance. Gas mileage is influenced more than just the weight and size of the tire. Keep in mind that rolling resistance of a tire has a bigger influence. Basically, harder tires equal less rolling resistance.

Generally, if the tire is too round or too hard, the tire-patch will be too small to adhere to the road surface effectively. The majority of hybrid cars utilize some kind of low rolling resistance tire. If you drive aggressively, for instance, then a softer tire will be ideal.
