DWS06+ has good fuel economy thanks to being lighter and less rolling resistance. On my old CSX basically no difference compared to the Uniroyal A/S my parents stuck on there before.
My experience with the DWS06+ wasn't the same. I went from the OEM Bridgestones to DWS and found rolling resistance to be much higher, yes I went from 245-255 and upped 1" in diameter, but I was still surprised how much difference it made. I never measured the fuel economy but I could feel the car slowing down quicker after I let off the throttle.

The OEM tires were actually great if it weren't for that nail. They were decent in the snow, handled decent, comfortable for a runflat. Overall decent all around.
