I previously had snow tyres on my imported car....Managed 840km per 40 L tank of petrol...
I had bought 185/60/R14 AE01 Yokohama Blu Earth tyres - noticed reduced mileage on 2007 Honda Fit - reverted back to 175/65R14 YSR ( H82 )
- are these second tyres Blue Earth or a cheaper tyre? I can find nothing on 'google'.
- should I get about same mileage as original or much less - now not even 600km to 40L tankful?

Hi there,
The snow tyres would have a size written in them and your new tyres were exactly the same size. I would imagine the fuel usage to be the same.
The dealer who fitted the tyres would be able to tell you what type of tyre you have.
The brand name should be written on the tyre.
