[QUOTE=murphybrown;972769]Karyl, you have a Kumho on the rear, right? To me Kumho = hydroplaning. With the Arachnid on the rear (and with the Kenda) no hydroplaning but when I had the Kumho I would hydroplane.
As for Eco Mode, I use it all the time. I generally don't look at the arrow, only when I'm tooling around town and I notice that it is giving me the up arrow and I realize that I should up shift. I do not notice any loss of power but I have a manual and that may be different than on the SE. If you use it to remind you to shift to 6th at lower speeds I think you will find improved gas mileage.
