That's amazing. I don't recall anyone reporting no effect on their fuel consumption rate when switching to a non-OEM tire, especially one whose aerodynamics are considerably worse due to their larger cross section. It must be a very low rolling resistance tire, a feature that many of us are struggling to find. I'm sure that others would be interested in finding a good replacement for the OEM tires that doesn't increase the fuel consumption rate, so please report the tire that you are using.
The lighter weight of your new wheels might offset their poorer aerodynamics.
