Just a note for you is that tires have the highest rolling resistance when new, but also the highest grip. They lose about 20% of their grip over their lifetime, and rolling resistance gets lower as well, so if your fuel consumption is the same then that is perfectly fine, it would probably have worsened with a normal set of new tires.

I used a neodymium magnet to attach a piece of flex tubing to the exhaust on my portable generator. It lost it's magnetism in minutes and it never came back. It looks exactly like the one you have. I hope you have better luck. I replaced it with two larger ferrite magnets. They didn't lose their magnetism, but the one attaching the exhaust pipe cracked due to heat. For now I just wrapped them with aluminum foil tape to hold them together.
