tyres?? anyone??
i have seen in quite a few threads, where goods tyres upgrade is attributed for better braking.

This will only help if the braking is bad due to the wheels locking up. But if the brakes are so weak that they can't lock the stock wheels, there is no way you can improve the braking unless you increase the braking force itself.

However, the good part is that it gives almost the same mileage on highways as the originals

Not really true. If your odo is wheel rpm dependant then you're travelling a smaller distance for a certain number of wheel revolutions as compared to your stock tyres. The odo wont differenciate between wheel size (unless you calliberate it for the new wheel diameter and circumference). It only takes the wheel rpm into account.
When your odo says 500kms travelled, you're actually covering less distance than what you would have covered with your stock tyres. Thats why you feel the FE hasn't changed.
So in reality, you're using the same amount of fuel to travel a shorter distance (which your odo doesn't show you).
