I reckon it be thread bumpin' time.
I have some cheap primewells, that were $40 when I bought them 2 years ago. The same tire is now $50, (?). Anyway, I want a SERIOUS upgrade, as I've have tread separation in one of my tires, and I got my prorated warranty a few weeks back for a new one.

I've been looking for some LLR tires, with good pricing, and it seems that the Ecopia EP100 is the best tire for the mpg, and has especially good wet traction. They are about $80 each for my tire size, but I'm willing to pay that kind of money for an upgrade from my low quality tires I have now. I deliver pizzas now, and I'm planning on going on a huge road trip this summer, so the savings will come much faster than I thought they would a few months back, when getting new tires would not have made financial sense.

I have a 94 Corolla, and my tire size is 175/65/R14.
Any other good LRR tires that would serve my needs?
