I did a cost per mile or lifetime cost analysis for them as well as a few other tires, some lower in price. The Energy Saver came out ahead in most cases. I ruled out generic super cheap tires because I would not want to jeopardize my safety with such a tire.

Total lifetime cost for fuel and tires over 150,000 miles | PriusChat
