New Avon Tires, Tirerack, MPG (?)

I recently got new Avon Tires from TireRack after 2 sets Pirelli P6's

My MPG may have dropped ~ 1.5 MPG. Might have improved after bumping PSI to 35
from lower at install.

Is this unusual or should I look into further? Increase PSI?

I must say, the TireRack experience was smooth and simple. Oscar was very helpful. Time from hanging up till drive away from local "speed/tire" shop their list was ~ 32 hrs.

I'm pleased with the tires/ride otherwise.

Wonder how many miles likely to get from them. Got 45-50K both sets Pirelli's
(Which I liked fine, got recent bad reviews curiously)
