Volkswagen Passat tyres - how can I improve fuel economy?
I am currently running my 2008 Volkswagen Passat on Bridgestone Potenza 235/45R17 94Y RE050A tyres which are coming up for replacement. Can you recommend any other make of tyre. I do about 10000 miles year about 50 per cent on motorways.

Michelin Primacy 3s are probably your best bet for fuel efficiency, grip and tyre life.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
