Hankook's enfren low rolling-resistance tires deliver 5 percent fuel saving

This is good and all, but rolling resistance is not all a tire is used for.

What about road noise? Consumers won't use a tire if it is excessivly noisy.

And what about traction? If the tire can't maintain grip at speeds on cold or wet roads, then it's useless.

Tire flex? Alot of the vehicles suspension comes from tire sidewall flex. If this tire doesn't flex properly, it will create a harsh ride that nobody likes.

This article needs just a few more tidbits to be good.
