    Hello. I recently had a damaged tire replaced, so I bought a tire from a local tire shop by Evergreen EH 23. The tire was $63 installed. However when I was shopping around Costco said they had the Bridgestone Ecopia for around $85.

    I'm wondering if anyone has experience with either? if not what is the best tire for optimal MPG?

    I currently have bridgestone Turanza, which came with the car. I can't comment on road/freeway noise, but it always seemed the grip was poor. leaning on the ecopia's if costco still has them.

    I had the ecopia 422, they were great on fuel efficiency and had very little road noise. I kept mine at 35 PSI, they were comfortable to drive on, last about 45k miles though. Replaced them yesterday with the 422 plus, will give it a week or so before I compare the two. Tire noise level is good, low, at highway speeds. Got the 422 plus from Costco in Arlington,TX for $390.71 mounted and balanced. I will need to get the alignment checked, seemed spot on though.
