    I have to replace my tires and am looking for peoples thoughts/recommendations on whats good.

    I'd like an all season tire that is quiet, good for mileage, good in rain and of course regular dry conditions. The usual I suppose..

    A lot of people seem to like the Ecopia tire from Bridgestone but there seem to be a lot of bad reviews for them on their site..

    Any experiences and thoughts you'd like to share are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I like the Goodyear Assurance fuel max. Also Energy Savers are very popular. I have ecopia on my new 2014 gen 3 and like them. Very quiet and smooth. Just drove from British Columbia too California and averaged 4.6 lit. Per. 100 kilometers at at posted speeds with cc.. Car is new so will improve. Tempretures where cold as well! H

    "Ecopia" is not a specific tire.

    What was the original tire? If it served you well, and it's commercially available, go with the same?

    My 2 cents: Bridgestone Ecopia EP20, for rolling resistance, price and availability. It is one of the OEM's Toyota's been using.

    Mine is irrevelant for the mileage, but I use Pirelli P6 Four Seasons plus. Lol, they're very quiet and has excellent handling and performance.
