Deciding to go with the Continental ProContact EcoPlus+ tires and going up one size from OEM. 600 A B

They rate pretty well in these tests...

Eco-Friendly All-Season Tires — How Does Performance Measure Up?

Also I have a sub to ConsumerReports and this tire is the second best rated tire in the all season touring category. RollResist is rated as excellent.

Assuming a LRR tire does 5% better than the avg tire as far as mpg...over the life of the tires...they could pay for themselves...maybe at least partially.

* turns out they don't have this tire in the size I need...still a good tire though
