Will changing tires save fuel

[Bhaal]

i'm currently using a 185/60/R14 tires on my Accent 1.5 GLS. juz wondering will changing tires improve fuel economy?

You changing tyres with the same profile? If it is, then I would think not much effect. Unless you are willing to downgrade to 175/70/R14, maybe you'll see some minimal improvement due to less tyre-to-road contact.

Whichever the case, make sure you don't under-inflate your tyres as this will cause an increase in fuel consumption.

Run higher tyre pressure will help to improve fuel consumption......
