I'm not normally too fussy about tyres. I've been running my VW Touran on Hankook tyres for about 80,000 miles and have never noticed any effect on fuel consumption.
About 3 weeks ago I had to change all four tyres and I noticed an immediate increase in fuel consumption (up by about 10%). The latest tyres are Hankook Ventus Prime 2 but I couldn't tell you what it had on before
Yes, I have checked and double checked the tyre pressures and pumped them up to the "laden vehicle" pressures to see if it would improve things but it hasn't. Has anyone else noticed as big an increase in fuel consumption with new tyres? Would it be worth going back to my tyre shop?
