Keeping in mind this will effect ride quality and traction, and not in a good way.
True...but hey people are buying smaller and smaller cars to get better gas mileage...they weren't handling machines pulling 1.1g on the skid pad with super sticky tires :P
After you have taken all these suggestions into account, you may want to have a "good shop" do a 4 way alignment. Just improper tow "in or out" alone could create additional resistance, not to mention tire wear which will cost you more per mile in the long run.
Save on fuel and give some back to faster tire wear ?????
Also if you are having any vibration or shake problems even if small, that could be a sign of broken or ruptured belts in a tire or improper balance.
Make sure who ever is checking tire pressures that the have an accurate gauge.
Always check pressures with the tires cool and don't forget to check your spare at the same time.
I read a bulletin from a trucking company the other day that said worn tires get better mileage than new ones, and it got me wondering what other things we might be missing. That and when it is 85* outside, I don't even want to think about ******* snow tires
