    I am getting ready to put some new tires on my C.
    Was going to get the Bridgestone Ecopia 422's but since they are out of production will look at the 422 Plus.
    Not too many reviews on them so far, are the Pluses as quiet as the 422's?
    Noise is my main concern, still have the Turanzas on the car which are driving me crazy with the noise they produce.

    I had Ecopia EP 422's put on my C2 about 5,000 miles ago. If they are the Plus tire, they are quiet.

    That's good to hear. Beginning to get my C ready for a coast to coast trip.

    Got the 422 plus a few days ago. Very smooth and quite. Steering feels quicker too.

    I really have yet to drive much on them, only maybe 100 miles. But mpg seems to be the same. Maybe slightly higher, without trying. I was getting about 55 mpg average on the stock Bridgestones.

    You can see a few threads here talking about Ecopias. giving it a good rating cos of its high thread rating, low noise, and affordability
