No. The prices I quoted above where for a same size tire as the Energy saver. I should have been more clear. I found a set of 145/12s for $46 per. Coopers I think. So I had $46 in my mind when I found the Micheline Energy savers at $153 per. and THAT set the ball in motion. so I took the smallest Energy saver that the sight had listed and compared it to another 195/65/15.
Hope that clears things up and thank you for the tire comparisons! For the metro I'm just looking for something that will fit on the car, if it ends up saving me gas in one form or the other, Bonus!
