Standard Equipment
Most hybrid vehicles are equipped with low-rolling resistance tires.
Auto manufacturers in the United States typically equip new vehicles with tires that have lower rolling resistance than their average after-market replacements, in order to meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.
These include Conti Contact, Michelin Energy, and Goodyear Eagle LS tires.
